In this half-day workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience working with data to help you beat the competition in any market. You’ll come away with plenty of quick-hit story ideas and also learn about publicly available databases that you can download and analyze to help boost your stories on deadline. We’ll walk through a number of searchable databases currently available online and show you how you can download information into a spreadsheet so you can start analyzing data as soon as you leave the workshop. No previous data experience is required for this workshop. Pre-registration is required and seating is limited. Attendees are required to bring a laptop that has Microsoft Excel installed, and their laptop chargers.

It's time for newsrooms to shake off the stigma for journalists facing mental health issues. As friends, colleagues, managers and teammates, we all have a role to play in caring for ourselves and supporting each other. Kim Bui, deputy managing editor for reported.ly, discuss resources and strategies for mental health issues in the newsroom from vicarious trauma to depression and anxiety. Our goal is to create a candid conversation within our community. We'll encourage participants to share only as much as they're comfortable discussing. (This is an off-the-record session, unless moderators indicate otherwise.)

The 2016 election is in full gear, and political candidates have been traversing across the country rallying their supporters. What is it like covering the presidential election from a photojournalist's perspective? How do you stand out among the competition when the usual settings are so expected (podium, in front of a crowd, kissing a baby, etc.)?
Video on social media has exploded in the last year, and many say it's the new trend to watch for in 2016. How do videographers navigate this new world of short, shareable videos? How can we preserve the intricacies of making compelling, high-quality documentary video within two minutes? Is all social video "dumbed-down," or can videographers make powerful work within this new world?
