FSNE co-sponsors Visual Journalism workshop

The Florida Society of Newspaper Editors is co-sponsoring a one-day workshop on visual journalism at the University of North Florida (UNF) in Jacksonville on Friday, February 6, 2009.

UNF’s Department of Communication is one of six schools of journalism/mass communication that has been selected as a recipient of an on-site workshop that will be presented by the American Press Institute for its faculty and staff. The workshops — which are open to the public -- are being underwritten by the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust.

The one-day program will focus on three critical themes:

• designing for audience engagement
• multi-platform storytelling (and sharing)
• the team required to create and sustain a successful multi-platform operation

Who should attend? Visual journalists and educators -- print and Web designers, editors, graphic artists, copy editors and photographers -- who want to be innovative, multi-platform storytellers
