April 3 - April 4, 2003
University of Southern California/Annenberg School for Communication In conjunction with the Selden Ring Awards
In the wake of Enron and corporate scandal, how do we tell the stories in our own backyard about local business that may need closer scrutiny? A part of the recognition of the 2002 Selden Ring Award winner, the Western Knight Center hosted a one-day seminar focusing on how journalists working for smaller, community news organizations can go beyond ribbon-cuttings, chamber of commerce and press release journalism.

What fellows have to say about past seminars:
"The seminar far exceeded my expectations. I walked in a neophyte on water issues and will go home with a huge leg up in tackling water issues in Texas. I've got story ideas, great reference materials (my editor will consider what I'll tell him about the USGS presentation alone worth the price of admission) and excellent contacts. I couldn't have asked for a better program."
