Hello and happy March*. This month we concluded one round of Knight Training at the same time as we launched our fourth 11-week session; conducted an intensive on-site training at WVXU and launched our social media marketing webinar series.

We love hearing about (and highlighting) your digital efforts, providing an inside look at the digital lives of our public media colleagues and offering training to help you stay on top of digital storytelling. 

Have a story to share? Let us know.  

For those of you who are interested in the event [Digital Day] we held in Austin (during SXSW) you can find the audio of the session here. 

*Life got ahead of us this month, but we are hoping April Fool's Day gives us a free pass.
