Invitation from Pat Bryson- Only 4 days left! Deadline is Monday, June 12!   FREE to KBA MEMBERS! Act Now!

This is a personal invitation to attend one of my eight sessions in Kentucky, the week of June 19. You are all on my list from the last time I was in Kentucky four years ago.

Some of you have already signed up. Thank you! I am so looking forward to working with you again. For those of you that have not signed up, I urge you to do so. The sessions will be two hours in length and I promise this will be a good use of your "billable hours." You will  leave with ideas to make you money.

The first hour will be exploring the fine art of asking sophisticated questions designed to uncover needs, goals, objections...everything you need to craft on-target campaigns for your clients. It's not your father's customer needs analysis! This one is designed for today's crowded and complicated environment.

The second hour will be spent learning a new technique to handle objections. I often hear from my clients that getting the final agreement is tough. Using this process will make it much easier.

So, KBA is kind enough to provide this opportunity for you. I hope you will all take advantage of it and come. We'll have some fun and improve our game!

See you in Kentucky!

The Drone Journalism School Webinar 
Sponsored by the Poynter Institute 
Free! 
This upcoming Webinar will be broadcast on:
Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at 2:00pm Eastern Time. 

In this virtual classroom, participants can join in a seminar led by Poynter faculty and visiting faculty. This screencast includes live audio and a slideshow presentation in which participants can post questions and respond to poll questions posed by the host.
The Poynter Institute has partnered with Google News Lab, the Drone Journalism Lab at the University of Nebraska, The National Press Photographers Association and DJI to train more than 350 journalists in drone journalism school classes in 2017. Our workshops in Georgia and New York have filled to capacity and we have two more workshops in Wisconsin and Oregon.

This one-hour webinar gives you a taste of some of the teaching from those three-day drone journalism classes.
You will:
  • Hear from The Drone Journalism Lab founder Matt Waite, who teaches the fundamentals of the FAA Part 107 drone pilot test. Matt explains what to expect on the test and what he thinks the future holds for drone journalism pilots.

  • Learn from NPPA's general legal counsel Mickey Osterreicher, who has tracked the evolution of drone laws for years. Mickey explains how journalists are feeling pressure from local and state governments who want to regulate airspace and how journalists should respond to growing public concerns about privacy and drone safety.

  • Listen to Google News Lab's Nicholas Whitaker, who says drone video has great value beyond covering breaking news. Whitaker explains how Google is working with partners to mine data from drones to build 3-D and virtual reality images. He says we are on the frontier of new ways to tell stories and improve journalism.

  • See what DJI, one of the powerhouses in drone manufacturing, is doing with drones around the world. From agriculture to industry to biology and journalism, drones are taking high definition photography into exciting new uses.
The host of this webinar, Poynter's Al Tompkins, is an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot and will offer ethics guidelines that he, along with Waite and Osterreicher drafted for drone journalists. The ethics guidelines are a product of input from journalists who have attended our workshops.

What Will I Learn:
  • The basics of the FAA test: What is it, what's in it, common misconceptions.

  • The lay of the legal landscape and why it is this way. The conflict of local and federal control.

  • The evolution of drone use. Where this is all heading and how drones are becoming essential not just to journalists.

  • The next steps for drone use including 3D mapping and interactive media.
  • The ethical frictions that confront us as drone journalists including privacy, production and safe operation.

This innovative program is offered in partnership with Google News Lab, with drones provided by DJI. Our teaching partners are the Drone Journalism Lab at the University of Nebraska, the National Press Photographers Association and our four host universities.

Who Should Take this Course:
Journalists working in any media, journalism students and journalism educators. We especially welcome newsroom managers who will make decisions about drone deployment and need to understand the legal implications of drone photography.
