Nashville, Jan. 23, 2024 — Applications are now being accepted for the 2024 Reporters Workshop, to be held in person April 19-20 in Nashville.

Organizers will select 15 print, online, television and/or radio journalists who want to develop a deeper understanding of media law issues that may affect their everyday work, including access to government information, defamation and privacy concerns in reporting, and other timely topics.

Journalists interested in attending should apply online before 5 p.m. CST on March 4. Student journalists also are encouraged to apply. In selecting the 15-member class, organizers will seek to include a balance of voices. Class selection will be announced by March 11, and those selected for participation will be notified by email.
