Volunteer opportunity with the Calgary Stampede!
Thursday, 09 May 2013 13:07
The Agriculture Media Committee is seeking interns for this year’s Calgary Stampede (July 5 – 14, 2013). This is an opportunity for eager students to work in communications and media relations in the area of agriculture. Interns will have the opportunity to work directly with a number of Stampede agriculture committees and act as an intermediary between the committees and the media outlets (print, radio and TV). Although agriculture and/or communications experience would be an asset, we would welcome applications from prospective interns that are are team players, who are passionate about agriculture and those that would be willing to commit to full three full volunteer days working with the Ag Media Committee during the Stampede (between July 5 and 14th). Note: this internship could lead to a more permanent role on the Committee. Please email your cover letter and resume to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

2013 King's Summer School in Data Journalism
Wednesday, 10 April 2013 10:19
We are pleased to announce full details for the 2013 University of King's College Summer School in Data Journalism, which runs from June 24 to 28.
Now in its sixth year, the school is Canada's longest running and best known intensive course in data journalism methods. It takes place in Halifax, always a nice place to visit in June.
Once again this year, we'll cover the basics of working with data and building interactive maps and visualizations. And once again, we'll introduce students to scraping.
More than ever, we'll be working with freely available tools that will allow graduates to go put their new skills to work without a big cash outlay.
In fact, being affordable is always part of the King's summer school. A full week of training can be had for as little as $325. Even last-minute registrants from large news organizations pay no more than $550 for the week.
And because we're on campus, we can offer the university residence as an inexpensive alternative to pricey hotels.
