Google News Lab “Train the Trainers” selected by SPJ and Poynter.
PCLI President Chris Vaccaro was selected as a Google News trainer as part of a collaboration with Google, The Poynter Institute and the Society of Professional Journalists.
Vaccaro and other journalists spent two days at Poynter in St. Petersburg, Fla. learning Google tools that they will eventually will teach in newsrooms and at conferences.
“The two days were packed with meaningful notes and lessons about some fantastic Google tools which journalists can surely benefit from,” Vaccaro said. “It’s wonderful to see organizations like the Society of Professional Journalists, Google and Poynter partner for the sake of training journalists.”
