Journalists helping journalists

After massive layoffs in the journalism industry earlier this year, many reporters, editors and photographers are considering what job (and industry) they'll find new work in. Although, it's a difficult transition we want to help make that easier with our day-long workshop. We'll provide a free day of learning (and complimentary lunch) to help anyone who wants to attend. 
The day's mentors include: 
Jane Lytvyneko, senior editor @ Canadaland (who will talk about data tools, applications and making it in the digial crowdsourced world of journalism);
Liz Do, communications @ the University of Toronto (what journalists need to learn before they apply, how to update their resume to reflect skills and how to get your foot in the door); 
Sarah Simpson, freelance @  non-profit (will share how she started and the journalism skills she uses to make the world a better place via Toronto-based nonprofits. Her session will also concentrate on learning how to succeed and transition into this new world); 
Takara Small (how to make it in freelance and make a living solely off of it); and,
Rehan Ishaq (Chartered Professional Accountant, President of Rehan Ishaq CPA Professional Corporation who will talk about everything you need to know about starting your own freelance business, how to avoid tax hell whether you should incorporate, GST and severance). 
Lunch provided :)
