We are pleased to announce our newest addition of two technology training workshops slated for March and April. The March workshop, which is geared for editors, will focus on database-driven map mash-ups, blogs, audio and video podcasting, using Wiki's for story collaboration and other great Web 2.0 services. The April workshop, geared for reporters, will focus on map mash-ups, accessing remote public databases, using GPS for hyperlocal news, and learning to use web-based tools from Google and other providers.

Please be patient as this site is in a continual state of improvement. If you notice any sections are not working, please let us know using the contact link at the top of this page. Internet Explorer users might also notice a few glitches. We are working hard to fix the situation.
Our January workshop is under way and the live webcast schedule from all of our speakers can be viewed during the times posted below right here. Even though these webcasts are live, we archive each one for posterity where they can be viewed and downloaded. Please allow 3 business days after the workshop has concluded before the archives are posted.
