"These workshops are great opportunities for journalists to hone their business reporting and writing skills in one of the fastest growing areas of journalism," said Jonathan Higuera, deputy director of the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism. "The more you understand how to research companies and make sense of business speak, the greater your ability to deliver quality stories."
The workshops are part of an ongoing effort by the Reynolds Center to provide training that leads to improved coverage of business issues at U.S. media outlets. More than 5,000 working journalists have taken part in the center's daylong workshops and online seminars.
