If you are like most reporters, you don’t have just one beat; you have many. You’re writing about education, county and city government, cops, courts and lots of other topics.
Besides getting your stories in print, you are tweeting, taking video and photos and offering up news on an array of social media platforms.
Come learn how to juggle it all from reporters who have been in the beat trenches.
They’ll talk about getting stories beyond the meeting, finding real people to make your stories come alive, learning the jargon so you can translate it for readers, going beyond the meeting story and diving for documents that can give your stories punch.

– Eric Weddle of WFYI Public Media. The education beat.
