Boston’s convention promises dozens of workshops on navigating the digital landscape and surviving the brave new world of smaller newsrooms. AAJA-LA’s own Leezel Tanglao will be leading the workshop “Creating A Website: A Quick Guide.” There will also be several media institutes, on topics like audio storytelling and the basics of online video.

But it won’t be all work! Current AAJA members registered for the convention and staying at the convention hotel, the Seaport Hotel, will be able to buy Red Sox tickets during the convention.

And speaking of the convention hotel, the Seaport Hotel is offering AAJA members their hotel rooms at the unbelievable rate of $159/night, based on availability.

Hurry and register now!
