Last call for training in Pennsylvania this week
I just recevied the latest enrollment numbers for the sessions I’m holding this week for my friends at the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association.
I’m teaching Thursday and Friday. Both classes will be the same: Looking Good on a Shoestring Budget. We’ll focus on what small dailies and weeklies can do to produce visually stimulating pages, even with few resources. Each is a full-day session. Read more about what we have planned here.
Teaching a segment on visual ethics
at the University of Iowa, March 2009.
My PNA contact — the most excellent Beverly Hendry — tells me we have 12 signed up for our class at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Thursday and 17 enrolled in our Friday session at Lycoming College in Williamsport. She says she’ll let me know if we have any more sign up at the last-minute.
So here’s my message to you: If you’re anywhere in the area — in driving distance to Pittsburgh or Williamsport — if you’re interested in producing great visual journalism with shrinking resources and if you can invest a day of your time, contact my friend Bev. Sign up at the last minute. She won’t mind, I guarantee.
You’ll have a great day, you’ll see lots of dynamite work and you’ll leave inspired to kick some visual butt when you get back to the office.
Again, find details here: Links to register, maps on how to get there and more details about what we’ll be doing all day. (Tonight, for example, I’m pulling together all the page samples folks have sent me for our in-class critique.)
I’ll look forward to seeing you this week!
