A Newsroom of Two workshop

Local newsrooms across the country are disappearing, but there's at least one potential watchdog left: you! Doing journalism yourself might sound intimidating, but once you know the process, it becomes totally approachable.

In this workshop, I'll take you through what you need to know to investigate your local government agencies. I'll demystify the investigative process and cover the basic tools every journalist needs to know:

- generating leads - records requests - public data sources - navigating your local government's bureaucracy

This is a live session with time to ask questions about how you can report on your community.
