The Rio Grande Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists presents:
Covering Breaking News Accurately and Ethically
Five of New Mexico’s top journalists will discuss the nuts and bolts of reporting breaking news. They’ll also hit on topics such as fact checking on deadline, the use of anonymous sources, the role of follow-up analysis, and how breaking news coverage has—and has not—changed with the advent of online reporting and live-blogging.
The panel will be moderated by KUNM’s Elaine Baumgartel and feature Jeff Proctor (Albuquerque Journal), Floyd Vasquez (KOB-TV), Jeri Clausing (Associated Press), and Gwyneth Doland (New Mexico InFocus correspondent).
When: Thursday, June 6, 2013 2:00 pm
Where: State Bar of New Mexico, 5121 Masthead St NE Albuquerque, NM 87109
Who should attend: Reporters and editors who cover breaking news, general or beat reporters seeking to improve their skills, and members of the public who are interested in how editorial decisions are made or how reporters cover their beats.
Panel is free to SPJ members and $10 for non-members.
