Get ready for the 2010 Census with a special half-day workshop devoted to the big national count. Session leaders and Census experts Paul Overberg of USA Today and Steve Doig of Arizona State University get you up to speed on everything you'll need to know, from covering the Census gathering process to working with the data when it's released. Learn how the American Community Survey is coming to play a crucial role in understanding the demographics of your town, and get enough story ideas to last the next 10 years.

Don't miss the 2010 CAR Conference


Join IRE and NICAR in Phoenix for the 2010 Computer-Assisted Reporting Conference. The annual event, which offers hands-on training, panels on the latest trends and insight into cutting-edge developments, will be hosted by the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University from March 11-14.
 
The 2010 CAR Conference will give you the tools you need to dig deeper into stories and give readers, viewers and your online audience the information they're demanding. It will offer something for everyone, from beginners to those with years of experience. The training provided at the conference helps journalists stay ahead in a competitive environment and will give you skills employers are looking for.
“We’re honored to be hosting IRE’s 2010 CAR conference here at the Cronkite School,” said Chris Callahan, dean of the school. “I attended my first CAR conference back in 1995, and have always found the sessions to be among the very best concentrated journalism training experiences in the world. With our new digital media complex in downtown Phoenix and faculty members such as Knight Chair Steve Doig, we hope to help IRE deliver a first-rate CAR training experience next spring.”
