Journalism Survival Bootcamp, 8:30 am, May 15, $15

So maybe your stats aren't good enough for the National Press Club softball team. But you can learn to stay in the game -- the journalism game -- beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 15, at the Club's Second Annual Journalism Survival Bootcamp, a day-long career-oriented program designed to help reporters and editors stay competitive.

The opening session, entitled "Opportunities Hidden in the Headlines," will provide tips and advice on how to transform yourself into a tech-savvy reporting powerhouse.

Later in the day, participants will take classes on video and "backpack" coverage, building online portfolios and more. They'll also hear from career coaches and networking experts. The day will end with a session on "Where the Jobs Are," featuring top hiring editors.

By the end of the day, members will have the perspective they need to stay relevant in an evolving news business. Panelists include top editors and instructors from AOL, Bloomberg, NPR, Northwestern's Medill School, American University and more. See how you'll fit into the bigger picture as the media landscape changes. Here's what some people had to say about last year's bootcamp: http://www.rra.org/blog/?p=28 .
