Empowering Journalists Through Economic Data
The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW) has handpicked 19 talented journalists for their prestigious Goldschmidt FRED advanced data workshop, scheduled for Nov. 3-4 in St. Louis. This workshop represents a valuable opportunity for journalists to deepen their understanding of economic data, enhancing the quality of financial reporting across the board.
What Awaits the Selected Fellows?
During this immersive two-day event, participants will have the chance to visit the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, a cornerstone in the exploration of U.S. economic indicators. Through dedicated sessions, they will delve into different types of FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) data and learn about crafting compelling narratives rooted in statistics.
Insights from Economic Experts
Fellows will also benefit from interacting with influential economic speakers, who will share insights on how they monitor the pulse of the American economy and contribute crucial data to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). This collaborative effort aims to sharpen the fellows’ skills in reporting on complex economic issues effectively.
A Legacy of Excellence
The Goldschmidt FRED Fellowship, supported by the Illinois-based Walter and Karla Goldschmidt Foundation, continues to play a transformative role in journalism. As Marty Steffens, SABEW chair, emphasizes, understanding FRED data can be a “game-changer” for reporters committed to delivering insightful economic stories. This program not only nurtures emerging journalists but also aims to cultivate informed public discourse on economic matters.
