Editing Workshop with the PMJA Editor Corps

Registration is open — limited to 20 participants

Spend a full day with PMJA Editor Corps editors sharpening the skills that make you a better partner to your reporters — and a stronger voice in your newsroom. This intensive, hands-on workshop is built around doing the work together, not sitting through presentations.

What you'll dig into

  • The role and value of editors
  • Encouraging clear, conversational writing
  • The reporter-editor relationship
  • Editing for clarity, pace, and narrative structure
  • Story ideation and development
  • Troubleshooting your toughest editing challenges

Most of the day is spent actually editing — listening to and reading real news stories and features, with a primary focus on audio. You'll also get time to bring your own newsroom challenges to the table and work through them with the group.

Whether you're newer to editing or an experienced editor ready to level up, this workshop meets you where you are.

Before you attend, please update your profile with your bio and job title — it helps facilitators tailor the workshop to your newsroom context.
