On behalf of Public Radio News Directors Incorporated, I invite you to nominate a reporter to participate in PRNDI’s upcoming Reporter Training in Houston, TX. This is a free opportunity for young, novice, and new public radio reporters from PRNDI member stations. The training will take place June 27th and 28th, ahead of the official start to the PRNDI conference. We only ask that you cover the cost of transportation, accommodations and a meal or two for your reporter.
We’ll have two full days of hands-on training focused on upgrading your reporter’s overall journalism skills. PRNDI senior trainers Tanya Ott and Julianne Welby will offer new strategies for story visioning, sound gathering, interviewing and writing. The trainers will help each reporter localize a national story that they can bring back to your newsroom and air in your market. We will forward you the story assignment as soon as it is available.
To nominate a reporter, please email me by Wednesday, April 25th with REPORTER TRAINING in the subject line. Include the reporter’s name, years in public radio, and a brief assessment of your reporter’s abilities in the following areas:
• Story selection and planning.
• Interviewing and story gathering.
• Tape selection and writing.
• Performance and production.
• Multi-media.
As room is limited (10 spaces), we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
While the training is free, if your reporter stays for the full conference, he/she will be required to pay the appropriate conference fee. If you have any questions, please hit reply or call me at the number below.
