TBABJ Multimedia Workshop March 8 in Tampa

The Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists is pleased to announce its second annual seminar on blogs and multimedia reporting.

Scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday March 8 at the Tampa Tribune, 200 S. Parker St. Tampa, the seminar will feature contributions from Ken Knight, TBABJ Treasurer and multimedia editor for the Tampa Tribune/WFLA-Ch. 8/TBO.com; Demorris Lee, reporter for the St. Petersburg Times; Eric Deggans, TBABJ president and creator of The Feed media blog; and Steve Echevarria, feature writer for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and developer of a national panel on blogging for the National Association of Black Journalists.

During the panel discussion, we will talk about ways to think about expanding traditional journalism work to multimedia platforms, the advantages and challenges of blogging for journalists, the resources available for those who hope to learn more about this kind of work and more...

Though this is a professional development seminar organized by the TBABJ, this seminar is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. Our first session last year was well attended, and we hope to do better in 2008.

In particular, journalists of all ethnicities and experience levels are most welcome. Feel free to email back at this address or call my office at the number below for more information...
