Training

NPPA’s Women in Visual Journalism Conference is returning for its fifth year since it’s revival in 2015. The conference is scheduled for October 18-20 in Dallas, TX.

Don’t miss this opportunity to share the excitement and drive for excellence with some of the top visual journalists in the country. Whether you’re just starting your career or are a seasoned professional, this weekend workshop will inspire and IGNITE YOUR PASSION to push to the next level of video storytelling.

The workshop at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska, September 21-23 will offer training on safe drone operations and information journalists need to study for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 107 Drone Pilot’s Certificate.

The first ever West Coast Workshop and 2019 NPPA Video Awards are June 1, 2019 in San Diego! Come for a weekend of inspirational presentations, meetings, and fun. This conference is for professionals, veterans and rookies, and students looking to improve their use of video. Then head over to Stone Brewing, one of San Diego’s greatest breweries, for dinner and drinks to see who is crowned by NPPA judges as the 2019 Ernie Crisp Photojournalist of the Year, Editor of the Year, Stations of the Year, and Reporter of the Year.

Together, we can change the world, one story at a time. The program is designed for experienced TV and newspaper photojournalists, reporters and video journalists – anyone who tells stories with moving pictures, sound and words. If you attended the Oklahoma News Video Workshop, we pick up where they leave off.

The next Multimedia Immersion will take place in Syracuse NY on May 14th through 18th, 2019. It is an intense, five-day, hands-on training workshop for visual journalists looking to expand and grow their multimedia skill-sets using the latest technology.

The News Video Workshop builds the fundamental skills you need to tell strong, clear, and compelling video news stories. A week of intense learning and powerful critiques will change how you approach, gather, edit, write and present your work.

In three days, we will show you all you need to know about the basic skills and prepare you to study for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 107 drone pilot’s certificate. You’ll also learn about the innovative ways stories can be told (including virtual reality storytelling) as well as explore the ethical issues surrounding drones, including privacy issues.
