    In between, we will present lively and topical conference sessions that will explore key issues newsroom leaders are tackling; showcase innovations; and provide practical takeaways in such areas as improving content on mobile, increasing audience engagement and reach, and developing partnerships for greater impact.

    Also consider attending this special seminar on the regional and national implications of climate change, which will be held Thursday, Sept. 18, by the University of Rhode Island's Metcalf Institute for Marine & Environmental Reporting. More details to come as we continue to work on organizing some pre-conference Monday-morning workshops and some post-conference Thursday workshops.
