Journalists worldwide who are interested in election or disaster coverage can attend these free webinars.
The "How I Got That Story" webinar series, offered by the Scripps Howard Foundation, will provide free online training sessions the first and third Wednesdays of most months. The featured topics for September are campaign reporting and disaster coverage.
The program focuses on award-winning journalism topics or stories and the process used to get the story. Each webinar will be presented by the reporter or team of reporters responsible for the work.
"Democracy 2012," which will take place September 5, will address topics including how to organize campaign coverage, how to integrate social media into election reporting and how to involve citizens.
"Disaster Coverage," which will air September 19, will address the role of the internet and social media in covering crisis stories, breaking news and balancing the demands of networks and affiliates while covering a story.
