Feb. 20 Workshop: Covering political races and election day

 

Covering elections and politicians is part of the job as journalists. Join us Saturday, Feb. 20 for two panels on political coverage. Veteran reporters will share their tips on how to cover everything from local, state to national political races. Also hear from political experts, state lawmakers and former candidates who will share their experience with the media and offer tips on where they believe you can do better on the job.
