Free Multimedia training and career counseling June 20 in Tampa

The Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists is pleased to announce a free seminar on multimedia journalism, on-air performance and career counseling, scheduled for 11 a.m. June 20 at the Tampa Tribune, 200 South Parker St., Tampa.

The core of the event will be a 90-minute session with trainers from Communication Research Enterprises, featuring journalist/professor Lillian Dunlap and voice coach/actor Jaye Sheldon.

"Making it powerful: Your Voice in Multi-Media Storytelling" focuses on acquiring skills to strengthen on-air and online performance. They will share excellent storytelling examples, lead the group through exercise
and send each participant home with new tools and tips.

The workshops leaders are:
Lillian R Dunlap, PhD (Journalist, former professor at University of Missouri, Affiliate at Poynter Institute).

Jaye Sheldon, MA (Voice Coach and Actor).

We'll also have an appearance by life/career coach Debbie Lundberg and someone from the Poynter Institue's Poynter Careers Web site.

The seminar is free and open to anyone who wants to learn -- please forward this email to any friends who may be working in media and facing layoffs, considering major transitions or trying to develop new skills.

Feel free to call or email if you have any questions...

Though this is a professional development seminar organized by the TBABJ, this seminar is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. In particular, journalists of all ethnicities and experience levels are most welcome.


See you on June 20!
