I am so grateful to share that I was selected to represent my newsroom at the annual Investigative Reporters and Editors Conference a few weeks ago in Anaheim.🌴 It was so fun learning about building an investigative team at a local newsroom, mining census data, coding for journalists and more. And it was so great meeting so many other talented and driven journalists. I can't believe it's been half a year since I helped launch WCTV's first investigative team. I'm really looking forward to bringing these new skills and strategies into our storytelling!

Hoping all of you are planning for some rest and recharge time this holiday weekend. Before you hopefully log off, I am sending a brief note to encourage you if you can spare a few minutes to submit pitches for Investigative Reporters and Editors upcoming annual conference that's virtual by design, AccessFest, October 17-19. Topic ideas and speaker suggestions are great and pitches don't need to be fully baked. We hope to show that there remains demand for virtual training. In case you’re not familiar, AccessFest focuses on two major prongs that expands IRE’s efforts to provide more accessible training. Some sessions are centered on belonging, equity, and inclusion in the newsroom and through better news coverage of inequities in the communities journalists serve. And for those who couldn't make it to NICAR or IRE this year? The conference also features the most well-attended data classes and digging into docs sessions from the in-person conferences this past year. https://lnkd.in/gMN8NgYj
