A weekend of Watchdog Workshops

IRE traveled to Los Angeles, Tucson and Laramie last weekend for a trio of Watchdog Workshops. Attendees shared their tips and ideas on Twitter.

Our Los Angeles workshop at USC featured IRE trainer Jaimi Dowdell, independent journalist Ronald Campbell, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter/assistant editor Ellen Gabler, NBC Bay Area reporter Jenna Susko, and Los Angeles Times legal counsel Jeff Glasser.

In Tucson we stopped at the University of Arizona School of Journalism. Attendees heard from several speakers including Megan Luther, IRE training director; David Cuillier, national president of the Society of Professional Journalists; and Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamante, an associate professor with extensive experience covering the U.S./Mexico border.
