Journalists who want to improve their broadcast reporting can attend this online training.
Poynter, with support from CNN, will host "Virtual TV power reporting" Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 2 to 25.
Participants will learn how to effectively tell complicated visual and non-visual stories for TV; techniques to gather information from interviewees even when they are reluctant to talk; conduct ethical decision-making on a deadline; demonstrate principles of photojournalism in their work and communicate and collaborate with photojournalists; and produce powerful stories that engage audiences.
The cost is US$99. Members of minority organizations in the U.S. are eligible for scholarships to cover 50%. Journalists in financial need can also request a discount.
The deadline is May 21.
