Description
The Future of News conference is aimed at educating both working journalists and students studying journalism in understanding the complexities of creating and sharing news stories in the digital age.  Through a combination of workshops and lectures, participants will be given a variety of new tools that will help them stay competitive over the next few years as the digital age continues to re-draw our old definition of print and electronic news

The conference will offer a mix of expert analysis in the morning and afternoon workshops. The conference lectures will explore what the most likely scenarios that might occur over the next 5 years. The workshops will train participants in using both software as well as understanding the options they have available to them.  The conference is open to both working journalist and students living in the NW states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska & Montana).

-The Future of News
