Uncovering Stories in Data - Chris Roush (Fort Worth)

Chris Roush, professor at the University of North Carolina, presents “Uncovering Stories in Data” during the free Reynolds Center workshop, “Uncovering the Best Local Business Stories,” in Fort Worth. (PLEASE NOTE: This presentation has been modified from the version that was presented in Kentucky.) The daylong workshop covered tips on how to find good stories in the business of government, how to cover economic-development agencies at the state and local levels, and how to find public information on private companies. Presenters also discussed how to find stories in small business and publicly available databases, and how to localize national and international stories for your audience. This free training was specifically geared toward community journalists and generalists on tight budgets and small staffs. A previous workshop by the same name was held in Lexington, Ky.
