At the end of April, hundreds of journalists will
gather in Salt Lake City, Utah, and five other cities across the
country to work on their writing. “This is a great experience for
journalists to get meaningful training at a low cost,” says David
Ledford, managing editor of the Salt Lake Tribune and organizer of
the the National Writers’ Workshop in Salt Lake City April 23-24.
The Salt Lake workshop offers keynote addresses by novelist William
Kittredge and journalists Tad Bartimus of the Associated Press,
Charlie Waters of The Los Angeles Times and Bill Johnson, a
columnist at The Orange County Register. Participants can also
attend workshops by novelist Terry Tempest Williams on fiction
writing, National Public Radio’s Howard Berkes on broadcasting and
Betsy Marston of High Country News on environmental journalism,
among others. For more information on the $65 workshop, contact
David Ledford, Salt Lake Tribune, 143 S. Main, Salt Lake City, UT
84111 (801/237-2045).
