June 2, 2015 –Using Anecdotes Well/June Networking Night

Join Barry Newman for a talk on ways to turn narrowly focused stories into narrative features for a broad audience of smart readers. Newman wrote for the Wall Street Journal, from the U.S. and abroad, for more than four decades. Most of his stories ran on the Journal's front page. While he's known for humor writing, his work dealt in accessible ways with serious subjects: immigration, macroeconomics, agriculture, development, trade, politics and foreign policy, to name a few. He will share some of the techniques he details in a new book, "News to Me," published by CUNY Journalism Press: http://barrynewmanjournalist.com
