As news organizations aggressively cover the 24-hour news cycle, editors and reporters have to become “multidimensional journalists” – they must be able to report, write and edit across print and digital platforms. These journalists know that, to cover breaking news, they must often start with several tweets, then quickly write a blog post and a web story, before producing a longer tale in the newspaper.

Some of the best TV reporters in the business, from KARE-TV’s Boyd Huppert to John Larson of Dateline NBC to even your instructor Al Tompkins, say this seminar was a turning point in their lives. Now it is your opportunity to have the Poynter Power Reporting experience.

This highly practical seminar is led by Tompkins and nationally acclaimed CBS photojournalist Les Rose, best known for his work with Steve Hartman on Everybody Has a Story.
