Broadcast Newsroom Workshop - Lubbock
As part of TAB’s commitment to ongoing training for station staff, TAB will provide additional training in 2014 to Texas broadcast newsrooms beyond the venerable Southwest Broadcast Newsroom Workshop in the fall.
TAB will present a Broadcast Newsroom Workshop on Saturday, March 8 in Lubbock on the Texas Tech campus. The all-day workshop is co-sponsored by TAB and Texas Tech University, College of Media & Communication.
The event will feature several nationally-known newsroom trainers, Texas broadcast news professionals, and three members of College’s faculty.
