In addition to this year’s Idaho Press Club Best of 2018
Awards Banquet, the Idaho Press Club is proud to offer two days of training.
Plan to attend one or both. These training sessions are free to attend,
regardless of press club membership, but you do need to register
in advance.
Covering the Courts: On Saturday, April 27th, from 8:30 to 3:30,
we’re partnering with Attorneys for Civic Education, the Idaho Supreme Court
and the University of Idaho College of Law for a training session on
covering the courts in Idaho. Attendees will hear from both legal
professionals and Idaho journalists on how the courts work, how to
best access information, how to understand rulings, and
more. Approximately 30 reporters and communications
professionals attended last year’s inaugural courts training, and we received great feedback. Those who attended
in 2018 are welcome to come again, as this year’s session will have additional
information.
SPJ Google Tools training: On Sunday, April 28th, Society of
Professional Journalists trainer Daniel Petty will give two two-hour sessions
on how journalists and editors can use Google Tools for reporting and
storytelling. These tools will help reporters in newsrooms large and
small.
