The Virtual Video Workshop is Coming to a Computer Near You
This exciting new approach to providing a workshop online is being developed by the NPPF, The Poynter Institute, and the NPPA. Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 19th.  Each session will be an hour long and will take you “behind the curtain,” with practical discussion of the skills and techniques used by each presenter in creating their award winning work. Between sessions, participants will be able to ask questions and carry on conversations with the speakers through online text chat sessions. The program starts at 10:15 a.m. ET and the last speaker will finish about 4:00 p.m. ET. If you can’t commit to the entire day, don't despair -- presentations will be recorded and as a benefit of registration you'll have free online access to all sessions at your convenience. Visit www.newsu.org/virtualvideoworkshop to register or for more information.
