Google 101 for Journalists 
Madison - The Madison Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) invites journalists from print, broadcast and digital to Google 101 for Journalists. This unique session led by Google’s Jake Parillo will introduce ways journalists can search smarter, keep better tabs on their beats, see what's hot and what's not, add a visual edge to online content, and use Google on the go when reporting in the field. Walk away with tips and tricks and an online resource – for Google Search, Hot Trends, Insights, Reader, News, Maps, and more.

Every day, millions of people around the world use Google's search engine to find what they're looking for. Editors, journalists, producers, and others in the media have long known just how essential it is to be able to find and use information efficiently and effectively, and this Google 101 introduction demonstrates ways to work more efficiently and effectively on the web. Learn how to get the most from Search and other free tools from Google.

Light refreshments will be provided.
