In our scroll and skim culture, dynamic visuals can make the difference in whether a reader engages with a story. But not every story can attract a graphic design professional’s time in the newsroom, especially in the continuing pandemic news cycle. If you’re a reporter, editor, social media manager now handling (or who wants to handle) quick-turn graphics, get a head start with our hacks for designing visuals when it’s not usually part of your job.

Beth Francesco, National Press Club Journalism Institute senior director, will share best practices, tools you have at your disposal from home, and exercises for creating visuals regardless of your hands-on design experience.

Registration is open for this program, which will take place from 1 to 3:30 p.m. ET Friday, April 30. Tickets are $15 for National Press Club members and $25 for the general public.

Special offer: If you are one of the first 50 people to register for the program, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a 30-minute session of one-on-one design instruction or help. Of the first 50 people to sign up, we’ll draw 10 names for this unique opportunity to expand your skills.
This newsletter is written & edited by the National Press Club Journalism Institute staff: Beth Francesco, Holly Butcher Grant and Julie Moos. Send us your questions and suggestions for topics to cover.
