The workshop will provide tips on the basics of being an interview subject and also a reporter before the camera. It will include hands-on on-air training through the use of video cameras.

It is open to the first 25 journalists who sign up. Participants must register for this workshop at www.businessjournalism.org/workshops/2008/Baltimore/BroadcastingPodcasts0426/.

Primary trainer Teri Goudie, of Goudie Media Services, is an international media consultant and former ABC News journalist who trains both CEOs and news reporters in effective on-air presentation. She stresses the importance of connecting to the audience on-camera, crystallizing your story and personalizing even the most complicated financial information.
