The industry is changing fast, but that doesn’t mean change is bad.

If your job description now includes shooting, writing and editing, no matter what your skill level may be or the platform you currently use, this workshop will benefit you. Change is inevitable. So learn what it takes, from veteran journalists, to become a better storyteller, work efficiently, and stay motivated.

NAHJ E-J Series: Journalism Entrepreneurs of the Future                  

ROOM 502 

WEDNESDAY  9 a.m. – 5 p.m. 

Journalists today are operating in an evolving news and information landscape that has made many consider striking out on their own. NAHJ will select candidates for a day-long training workshop on starting a news and information business online. A panel of academics, online news site operators, business advisors, and funding agents will guide a small group of self-starters interested in the future of journalism, commercial or nonprofit. 

The goal of the program is for attendees to understand start-up journalism and to begin formulating or solidifying a workable plan. What they learn in the NAHJ E-J Series is complemented by three days of training at the convention on a myriad of multimedia and career skills including starting a web site from scratch, a tech corner and financial corner at the Expo, and discussions open to everyone on how Latino startups already out there got started, and what foundations and venture capitalists are looking for in projects they support. 

Opening Plenary/Town Hall: Latinos, The Newest Demons? The Need for Accurate Coverage to Abate the Hate                                            

WEDNESDAY  6 p.m. – 8 p.m.,  Korbel Ballroom 1 

  Sponsored by The Denver Post

A potent mix of cultural fear and economic anxiety – and in some quarters, just plain racism – is helping to fuel increased attacks on Latinos on all fronts. Day laborers are pushed out of communities. Undocumented immigrants are arrested at work and split from their families. Teens on Long Island go “beaner hopping” with deadly results. Hate crimes against Latinos are on the rise. Chicano studies are outlawed on the border. Anti-immigrant rhetoric fills the airwaves and the Internet. A new Arizona law thrusts racial profiling and the battle over immigration reform into the political and social spotlight. Community and news leaders examine how misperceptions about Latinos have led to a climate of discrimination and violence; and the need for the community to demand, and for journalists to lead strong, accurate coverage to fight hate. 

This year, NAHJ’s Opening Plenary is open to the public and converted to a lively town hall discussion. 

Opening Reception
