Back by popular demand! We emerged from last year’s NAHJ Convention in San Juan having trained hundreds of Latino journalists and others in a variety of multimedia skills needed to excel at storytelling in today’s changing news media. The new CyberLab@NAHJ was a big part of that success, so we’re doing it again this year in Denver. This collection of sessions on Thursday, June 24 and Friday, June 25 will help journalists enhance their portfolio and continue growing that critical mass of NAHJ members becoming well versed in multimedia storytelling.
