SPJ Regional Conference Panel Spotlight: Amplifying Storytelling

Friday, 12:30-1:45
Moderator: Jed Morey; Speakers: Michael ‘Manny Faces’ Conforti, Rashed Mian, Christopher Twarowski

This audio/visual presentation will cover the growing popularity and power of podcasting as a meaningful vehicle for journalism in the public good. The team behind award-winning social justice podcast News Beat will outline the basics of this ever-expanding medium, while sharing tips and anecdotes of their transformation from print alt weekly journos to podcasters, melding hard-hitting journalism with original hip hop to shine a light on lesser-known issues and hopefully spark change. Attendees can expect to hear clips from several episodes, learn plenty about the podcasting process and its boundless applications to great storytelling.
