Don't Miss This Opportunity - Free Training with Lunch on Oct. 25 with Lynn Walsh at UC

MEDIA PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS
UP YOUR GAME! (AND GET A FREE LUNCH!)
One-time only opportunity in Cincinnati
NATIONAL FACEBOOK TRAINER WILL TEACH YOU WHAT YOU WISH YOU’D KNOWN BUT DIDN’T

And this goes even for those of you who don’t like/use Facebook, because your future employer is likely to have a Facebook page and presence. Now you can learn the coolest, most useful Facebook tools you didn’t know existed that can help you create and share your incredible works, including FB LIVE.

Get a leg up on the competition in a one-hour fully hands-on class. Training is great for any creator of video who wants to showcase his/her work. While great for producers, reporters and digital/social teams, these applications work for all sorts of creative work. You’ll learn how to really work the Facebook platform and learn NEW TOOLS specifically for content creators.

"We'll cover best practices any content creator should know," trainer Lynn Walsh says. "Through this training, you'll walk away knowing how to best communicate with your audience, including how to use branded graphics while you go LIVE on Facebook."

You could have to pay for this training we’re bringing to Cincinnati. Instead, you’re getting a free pizza lunch to boot, thanks to the Greater Cincinnati Society of Professional Journalists.
