Reynolds Center offering SABEW scholarships

The Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism will award two $1,000 fellowships to attend the annual conference of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) in Washington April 4-6.

This year marks SABEW’s historic 50-year anniversary. The Reynolds Center fellowship is open to full-time journalists who want to attend the center’s free training before and during the conference, as well as other sessions.

The center will present the following training:

• Breaking Local Stories with Economic Data, a free, pre-conference workshop from 9 a.m. to noon April 4.
• Great Sources, Great Storytelling, from 11 a.m. to noon April 6, with BusinessJournalism.org blogger Rosland Gammon.

Last year’s winners were Emery Cowan of the Durango Herald in Colorado and Christopher Nelson, a freelance journalist based in Baltimore.
