WPCF Seminar – “The Care and Feeding of Sources”

The Washington Press Club Foundation (WPCF) is pleased to host a series of webinars connecting aspiring journalists to Washington, DC reporters, editors and bureau chiefs. These programs are specifically designed for journalism students to gain practical insights into the changing culture and practices of media organizations as preparation for your future job search. WPCF’s next webinar is this coming Friday:

The Care and Feeding of Sources

How do the best journalists go about developing sources?  What are some strategies to get calls returned?  Off the record vs on the record, how do you manage these distinctions and when to use them?  Great sources are key to great stories and getting starting on building your contact list can be daunting. This webinar will feature a panel of three experienced political journalists and two former high profile communications managers to discuss techniques on how to develop and maintain productive relationships with news sources.

Date and Time: April 1st, 1 p.m. EST
