Join moderator Liz Bowie of Baltimore Banner as she moderates a panel on connecting with sources. Journalists routinely dive into situations and communities they don’t know intimately to cover the news. Join our panel to learn their tips on how to see people as individuals and not as identities. In this session, you’ll learn how to write for a broader audience and get sources to open up.
Panelists include Liz Bowie, Baltimore Banner; Isabel Hughes, The News Journal; and Peter Hermann, Washington Post.
Free for members, students, and interns $20 non-member fee. Registration for this virtual event is required.
