May Social Media Clinic
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Pinterest—wherever you are online, if you're a little confused, you're not alone!
Newsroom Cafe: What's your neighborhood?
The Daily Planet prioritizes neighborhood news—but what's a neighborhood? Is Urban Bean in "CARAG" or "Calhoun" or "Lyn-Lake" or "Uptown" or "South Minneapolis"? All of the above? Join associate editor Jay Gabler for a discussion of how Twin Cities neighborhoods break down, and how we cover them.
Newsroom Cafe: Building an audience
In 2012, everyone is his or her own personal brand. How can you build an audience for yourself and your writing? Join associate editor Jay Gabler at the original Dunn Bros. (on Grand and Snelling) for a discussion of this topic and any other related to the Daily Planet and our news coverage. Look for the laptop with the Freaky Deeky sticker!
Writers Group: The Movie Scene
At Peace Coffee, right next door to what City Pages calls the best movie theater in the Twin Cities—the Trylon Microcinema—arts editor Jay Gabler will open a discussion of the local movie scene. Who are the players? What are the best places to catch films of all types? How can you report on movies from a local angle?
Newsroom Cafe: Artist-Writers
Many arts writers for the Daily Planet (and other publications) are artists themselves—how does one straddle the two worlds? What about conflicts of interest? How does being an artist enhance and/or limit one's perspective on other artists' work?

At Espresso Royale in Dinkytown, Daily Planet associate editor Jay Gabler will talk about how to make your interviews go as well as possible—and about any other topics regarding the Daily Planet, our news coverage, and how you can contribute.
