Tired of being downsized out of a news career? Looking to make a dramatic change to your beat, outlet or location? Hannah Dreirer and Jon Craig will offer their insights based on their experiences putting down investigative reporting roots in new cities and states. In this age of fewer long-term projects and more pressure to produce stories and page views in less time, Craig and Dreier will offer tips on hitting unfamiliar ground running while developing high-impact stories. They will also discuss coming up with projects that match your passions on a low budget or while working with skeptical -- even unsupportive -- editors. The session is aimed at helping people just getting started in journalism, as well as veteran journalists who may be struggling to find a news job after a buyout or layoff.
