Speakers included Raphael Minder from The Financial Times, Mark D. Harmon from UTK, Dominika Píhová from Denník N, Dana Zlatohlávková Czech TV, Michael Winfrey, a former foreign correspondent and editor who covered major news stories for Reuters and Bloomberg, and more.Not only did attendees learn the tips of the trade directly from working foreign correspondents, they pursued an actual story on the streets of Prague, receiving advice on structuring their stories, locating quality sources, and incorporating multimedia, including video and photos. One of their articles has already been published on Prague Monitor and one participant’s feature has already been published on Transitions; others are in progress and will be published on our site or back in Tennessee. In addition to working on their main project stories, the participants toured Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and visited the Seznam.cz publishing house to witness the skill and dedication of journalists in Czechia. There were also many opportunities for networking and socializing, as well as exploring more of Prague and other places in the European Union to enhance their experience. Interested?
