    Do you struggle with the best way to cover breaking news in multiple formats, or enhance your major projects? As newsrooms have changed and evolved the last few years, the emphasis on multimedia has been lost at the very time when audience demand for audio, video, maps and animation has never been higher. If you’re ready to retool your newsroom and dive in to covering spot news and augmenting projects with multimedia, we can help.

    Resources are scarce, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create great multimedia elements that inform, delight and engage your audience.

    Join The Poynter Institute and Investigative Reporters and Editors for an intensive, practical hands-on workshop to teach journalists how to investigate and report on their local governments. The workshop is especially focused toward newsrooms that do not have big budgets or staffs to produce exhaustive projects.

    2013 will be a rough year for local governments that face significant budget deficits even while the economy slowly recovers. That’s all the more reason for journalists to carefully investigate and report about local government spending, responsiveness and efficiency.
