TEMPE -- The Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism will offer business journalism training sessions this summer at the conventions of Native American, Hispanic, Asian and South Asian journalists.

Presentations will be held for the:

  1. Native American Journalists Association. The half-day workshop will be held in Denver on June 7.
  2. National Association of Hispanic Journalists. A full-day workshop is scheduled for June 13 in San Jose, Calif.
  3. South Asian Journalists Association. A one- and one-half hour session is slated for July 13 in New York City.
  4. Asian American Journalists Association. The half-day workshop in Miami will be held Aug. 1.

Each seminar will focus on business journalism training for reporters and editors. Topics will cover how to get information on private companies, advanced investigative techniques, culling SEC documents and other important business reporting and writing strategies.

At the Native American Journalists Association convention, former UNITY president Paul DeMain will present a session on "Covering Business on Indian Lands." Journalists who may not be attending the conference are also welcome to attend the afternoon workshop.

At the NAHJ and AAJA conferences, attendees will participate in sessions led by James Gentry, a University of Kansas professor who specializes in making financial statements and documents understandable, Curt Hazlett, a former business editor with The Washington Post and Chicago Sun-Times, and Jodi Schneider, economics editor of Congressional Quarterly.

The SAJA workshop will feature journalist/blogger Michelle Leder, who founded and runs the web site Footnoted.org.

"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.
