SABEW to hold training call on covering the economy

The Society of American Business Editors and Writers plans to hold a training conference call later this month on covering national and local economic stories.

The call will be held on Sept. 26 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST.

This session will give journalists a better understanding of the direction of the national economy as well as insight into how they can track and cover their own regional economies. The call will also teach listeners how to tap into Bureau of Economic Analysis data and other economic resources.

On the call will be Adolfo Laurenti, deputy chief economist, Mesirow Financial, and Mike Schneider, correspondent and computer mapping specialist, The Associated Press, as well as a Bureau of Economic Analysis representative. The call is being moderated by Daniel Burns, financial training editor for the Americas, Reuters.

Please RSVP for the event by registering here. Then, on the day of the event, please call 218-339-2626 and, when prompted, enter the access code 4058935. You’ll be able to hear the panelists but not speak to them.

During the call, listeners may send questions via e-mail to sabew@sabew.org. Selected questions will be forwarded to the moderator for the panel to answer.
