HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Interested in learned new journalism skills and brushing up on ones you already know? The Michigan Collegiate Press Association is hosting its fall workshop “ABC Easy as Attitude, Basics and Convergence” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Eastern Michigan University.

The slated sessions include “Going Online Only” and “Adapting to a New Media Environment.” The cost is $20 for members and $30 for nonmembers. An RSVP deadline was Sept. 18, but I would think they'll be flexible (I'm checking into it).

If anyone goes and writes about what they learned from one of the online sessions for a posting here, it'll be worth three extra credit points (Please email if you plan on doing that).
