>WORKSHOPS
>
>THE JOURNALISTS HAIKU   Narrative journalism has swept through
>newsrooms in the last decade and generated many fine articles.  Yet the
>narrative approach has come to be synonymous with stories that take
>weeks or months to report and write.  Lets distill out the techniques
>that work so well in these longer narratives and start applying them to
>quick and short stories stories that can rightly be called tone
>poems. Walt Harrington, University of Chicago.
>
>INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER-ASSISTED REPORTING  Youve heard about the big
>investigations exposing police racial profiling, dirty restaurants
>dangerous drugs and deteriorating downtowns.  What they have in common
>is computer-assisted reporting.  Learn more about this cutting-edge
>skill and how reporters are using CAR to raise the bar in Canadian
>journalism.  Find out how the reporters do it and about the skills
>youll need.  Includes an original audiovisual presentation
>highlighting some of the best CAR stories of the new century.  Led by
>Fred Vallance-Jones of The Hamilton Spectator, a fast-paced and
>informative three hours.
>
>THE CORPORATION: Anatomy of a long form documentary Join the filmmakers
>who created The Corporation for a workshop on the methods and madness
>of making a long form documentary. Winner of the Audience Award at the
>Sundance Film Festival, The Corporation is part of a new wave of
>nonfiction films reaching a wide audience. Find out how they did it.
>Subjects to be explored: getting access, aesthetics, money, stock shot
>use and legal considerations, stories and structure, who was
>interviewed, and the cutting room floor. This three-hour workshop will
>include film clips and a question period.
>
>INTIMATE JOURNALISM: The art and craft of reporting everyday life
>In-depth reporting about how ordinary people live and what they value
>should be at the heart of every fine newspaper.  Too often it is not.
>This is a failure of vision and skill.  At a time when newspapers are
>desperately trying to reach people and keep them reading, we too often
>think of our human interest coverage as light feature pieces rather
>than as a kind of popular ethnographic chronicle of the everyday lives
>of the people in our communities. Walt Harrington, University of
>Chicago.
>
>ALONE IN THE FIELD BBC-trained videographer Jane Kokans work has taken
>her around the globe and without the support of a crew.  As camerman,
>soundman and reporter, Kokan will take a look at what the
>videographers job entails and teach TV reporters, or anyone else whos
>interested, what it takes for a one-man band to create a symphony of
>sights, sounds and story.
>
>THE BEST BEAT IN JOURNALISM  Award winning Vancouver Sun writer Douglas
>Todd will explain how to navigate the contentious terrain of the
>religion and ethics beat  source of some of the hottest stories of the
>past decade, from terrorism to gay rights, cult scandals to politics.
>Todd will show where to go for crucial background, how to scratch up
>the best quotes and who to trust.  The beat also gives journalists
>fabulous opportunities to stretch their story-telling muscles on
>features, trend stories, think pieces, investigations and analyses.
>Presented by the Centre for Faith and the Media.
>
>THE PERIOD IS YOUR FRIEND   Simple sentences and plain English may work
>best most of the time for broadcast, but rules are made to be broken.
>Nobody breaks them more often with more success than the CBCs Lynden
>MacIntyre.  McIntyre will teach you how to make your scripts sing
>while, at the same time, make listening a pleasure for your viewers.
>
>ART OF THE INTERVIEW Why can one reporter work on a story, and get
>nowhere, while another reporter working on exactly the same story
>manages to get all the answers? Some people just have the magic touch -
>right? Wrong.   Uncovering stories has nothing to do with magic and
>everything to do with good methodology. Everything starts with the
>questions we ask. Author and investigative journalist John Sawatsky
>will give a half-day version of his globally acclaimed interviewing
>methodology in use at newspapers and TV stations around the globe. Have
>you been "Sawatskyed" yet?
>
>ARTFUL REPORTING WITHOUT LYING  Narrative non-fiction wins Pulitzer
>prizes, but it can also land newspapers in hot water.  University of
>Victoria writing professor Lynne van Luven and instructor Vivian Smith
>will dissect some models of this kind of reportage and discuss how to
>keep the truth in true stories. Well also look at the ethical and
>editorial ramifications when reporters try their hands at such work.
>
>THE STACKS AND BEYOND Before Google, there was the library. Vancouver
>Public Library research specialist Janis McKenzie will take you back to
>your researching roots in this session.  In addition to the printed
>work, shell also delve into whats available free and on-line in most
>libraries across the country as well as discuss the availability of
>other informative sources& all in the stacks.
>
>WARM MILK AND A COLUMN AT BEDTIME: Why Canadian column-writing needs a
>shake-up The Globe and Mails Heather Mallick believes writing columns
>is the second-hardest job in newspapers, after investigative
>reporting.  Oddly though, column writing is regarded as a cushy job for
>the easily categorized.  A good column must be interesting and
>unpredictable.  Dull columns are a waste of the readers time.
>Columnists must fight the tendency to favour a tidy package of beliefs
>and should sometimes risk upsetting loyal readers by saying the
>unexpected.
>
>BLOGGING 101 Theyve played key roles in the combative U.S.
>presidential campaign.  Academics say theyll revolutionize mainstream
>journalism.  But what do blogs have to do with the daily lives of
>journalists in Canada?  What do journalists need to know about this new
>source of views and information?  David Akin, who is National Business
>and Technology Correspondent for CTV News, a contributing writer for
>The Globe and Mail, and a blogger himself leads a workshop for
>journalists who may one day want to start their own blog and for all
>those who wish to learn how blogs fit into daily news gathering. Blogs
>short for Web logs - are a new kind of online publication that are
>quickly becoming as important to journalists as e-mail and the World
>Wide Web.  Akin will run through some of the popular blog publishing
>tools; take participants on a brief tour of the blogosphere; and lead a
>discussion of the relationship of blogs to mainstream working
>journalists. Designed for those with little or no knowledge of blogs or
>blogging, this workshop will focus primarily on giving working
>journalists real-world skills they can put to use right away in their
>newsroom.
>
>KEEPING THE NON IN NON-FICTION The Jayson Blair fiasco has once again
>raised the issue of truth in journalism. Such blatant lying, though, is
>only one of the challenges facing the journalistic belief that truth is
>knowable.  From reality TV shows to fictionalized nonfiction, the
>culture is imbuing people with the idea that fact and fiction can't be
>separated. News people, who take so much heat for inaccuracies, must be
>a powerful voice reminding the culture that "facts" still matter - and
>that graceful writing can be beautiful and accurate at once. Walt
>Harrington, University of Chicago.
>
>WHY REPORTING FROM THE "BURBS IS LIKE BEING A FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT
>We've all heard it, and maybe we've even said it ourselves: Covering
>the suburbs is boring. Well, maybe not. In fact, covering the suburbs
>with distinction takes guts, creativity, vision, perseverance and a
>sense of humor - all the same elements you need to be a great foreign
>correspondent. Stephen Buckley, assistant managing editor/world at the
>St. Petersburg Times, will look at how to use all those traits to write
>the kinds of stories that'll fascinate, entertain and enlighten your
>readers.
>
>PIERCING PROFILES  Elizabeth Leonard, deputy bureau chief for PEOPLE
>Magazine's Los Angeles bureau, will guide journalists through PEOPLE
>Magazine's popular formula for profile writing, from the first gleam of
>an idea and the research to the writing, the editing, even the
>photography leading to the finished product on the newsstands. Leonard
>will also look at the magazine's style book and how it's used to write
>short, informative and, ultimately, readable stories about people
>celebrities and non-celebrities alike.
>
>A MODEST PROPOSAL: A "HIPPOCRATIC" OATH FOR JOURNALISTS - Given the
>advances of information technology, journalism has become the de facto
>neurological network of our civilization. Are we up to the challenge?
>How can we be sure the media industry is fit for such a large
>responsibility?  In his proposal, Mark Schneider, former CTV National
>News Bureau Chief and religion reporter, proposes that journalists take
>an "oath of integrity."  Come find out exactly what that means.
>Presented by the Centre for Faith and the Media.
>
>PANELS:
>
>
>THE BLOG REVOLUTION:  How blogs are changing and challenging journalism
>Everyones doing it, including media professionals.  Web logs, or
>vlogs, give anyone a platform and a potentially limitless audience.
>Lately, bloggers have broken news stories, kept other stories alive,
>created their own celebrities and oh-yeahhelped overthrow the editor of
>the New York Times.   Previously unknown bloggers have been offered
>plum jobs in conventional newsrooms, and conventional newsrooms have
>started blogging.  Some prominent journaliss have even found themselves
>paired with watchblogs that analyze and critique every story they
>create.  What are the tensions between bloggins and traditional
>journalism?  And what can journalists learn from blogs and bloggers?
>Is this a new form of media democracy?  This panel of tech-savvy
>journalists, bloggers, and media observers will explore the way blogs
>are changing and challenging journalism  and where its all going.  The
>panel includes:  David Akin, technology writers for the Globe and mail
>and CTV; Emira Mears, co-founder of Raised Eyebrow, web design,  media
>activist and co-editor of soapboxgirls.com;  Alan Bass, assistant
>professor of journalism; University College of the Cariboo.
>
>CO-DEPENDENCY:  Journalists need PR people for stories   PR types need
>us to get their message out.  But do time and financial constraints in
>the modern newsroom result in too many PR-friendly stories getting into
>the media?  We ask our three-member panel: Sheldon Rampton, co-author
>of Trust Us, Were Experts:  How Industry Manipulates Science and
>Gambles With Your Future, (2001);  Jim Hoggan, President of James
>Hoggan and Associates, one of Canadas leading PR firms, and Alicia
>Priest, a reporter specializing in medical and science issues whos
>written for The Vancouver Sun and Province , The Georgia Straight and
>CBC Radios national science show, Quirks and Quarks.
>
>DISSECTING AN ORGANIZATION: How to break and enter Since the best
>stories are told through people, the tought job of reporting often
>involves cracking the associations they form.  Find out how to dissect
>an organization: who the players are, what the rules are, how things
>are done, where mistakes are recorded.  An invaluable session for
>investigative journalism.  Panelists will include Brent Mudry,
>Stockwatch;  Charlie Smith, The Georgia Straight; and investigative
>journalist Les Zaitz, The Oregonian.
>
>JOURNALISTS AND POLICE: Gaining access, protecting boundaries Some of
>the biggest stories come from developing contacts with police. But how
>to do that? And why should they trust you? This workshop explores the
>difficulties of cracking the blue wall, while maintaining
>impartiality.  Participants include Kim Bolan, Vancouver Sun; Cecil
>Rosner, Sr. Producer CBC Disclosure; Julian Sher, investigative
>documentary producer/author; and RCMP Sgt. John Ward.
>
>INVESTIGATIONS ON A ZERO BUDGET Wouldn't we all like to have endless
>time and money to spend on "the big story." Fact is, most newsrooms are
>strapped for cash these days but still expect reporters to break news
>quickly and on budget. Well, that can be done. This workshop offers
>concrete guidance for investigative journalism...all on a shoestring
>budget. Cecil Rosner, senior producer CBC Disclosure and Les Zaitz,
>prize-winning investigative reporter from The Oregonian will show you
>how.
>
>THE SPIN CYCLE Public relations people: we need them but they can drive
>us crazy. How do you cut through the spin and get to the truth?
>Sheldon Rampton, co-author of Toxic Sludge Is Good For You: Lies, Damn
>Lies and the Public Relations Industry (1995) and Trust Us, We're
>Experts: How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles With Your Future
>(2001), offers some secrets on how the public relations industry uses
>you to get its message across, and how to avoid getting sucked into the
>spin cycle.
>
>WHAT TO DO WHEN THE POLICE COME CALLING: Search warrants, confidential
>sources and the newsroom  More and more it seems, journalists can wind
>up in deep legal trouble simply for doing their jobs. This workshop
>will look at recent legal cases involving journalists and police, and
>offer reporter survival tips. Hear first hand from reporters who've
>experienced the legal chill when police come calling. Participants will
>include Andrew McIntosh, National Post; Juliet O'Neill, the Ottawa
>Citizen; and media lawyer David Sutherland. Presented by the B.C. Law
>Society and the Jack Webster Foundation.
>
>YOU CAN'T PRINT THAT  In the so-called Age of Information, courts in
>Canada seemingly more than ever before are granting and upholding
>publication bans of greater and wider scope. How is the public
>interest served as lawyers seek and receive seemingly unjustified or
>unenforceable bans and justify secret hearings?  Panelists include
>investigative journalists Stevie Cameron and Julian Sher, Vancouver
>media lawyer David Sutherland and B.C. Court of Appeals Justice Wallace
>Oppal.
>
>SECRET BUT SECURE  In the name of anti-terrorism, security agencies and
>officials are choking the media's public right to information,
>including revelations about how insecure we may be. Security specialist
>Stewart Bell of the National Post will be joined by other panelists to
>present insights into the right balance between disclosure and
>security, or transparency and terrorism.
>
>CHEERLEADER OR CHASTIZER?  Is sports reporting "real" journalism of
>blatant boosterism? The way in which the news media deals with
>high-paid athletes sometimes begs the question. But the issue for
>reporters is real - How do they get at the truth when managers and
>owners have the power to shut the locker room door in your face? Those
>and other questions will be tossed around at this panel discussion.
>
>BUILDING THE BETTER STANDUP For many reporters, convergence means they
>must be as comfortable in front of a computer as they are in front of a
>TV camera. Anna Gebauer of BCTV news and Bill Amos from BCIT's school
>of broadcast will show you how stand-ups are made, and will include
>tips and tricks of reporting live from the scene.
>
>WHY CULTURAL COVERAGE OUGHT TO SAVE DAILY NEWSPAPERS, BUT WON'T   News
>outlets desperately want a younger demographic - especially younger
>women - so why aren't they getting it? A look at entertainment coverage
>may provide some of the answers. The Vancouver Sun's editor-in-chief
>Kirk LaPointe; alternative weekly owner and savage lover, Dan Savage;
>and former Vancouver
>Sun entertainment editor Charles Campbell will discuss the issue.
>
>LIFE AFTER THE NEWSROOM - Jump from journalism to what? Many have done
>it, but fewer have made the switch successfully. Come listen to a few
>who have discovered there are numerous career options for former
>reporters and editors.
>
>
>CAJ/CIDA SATURDAY BREAKFAST:   Join us as we listen to a short
>presentation by the winners of the CAJ/CIDA Fellowships to Africa.
>Hear them describe their trip to Africa, how they found their way off
>the beaten path and followed it to find a story.
