Telling Our Stories: Philippine American War – Feb. 15 at 8pm ET
This month marks the 123 years since the Philippine American War broke out in 1899. But few people know the long lasting impact that this war had on the generations to come. It’s barely a footnote in American history books. In a 5 part series for Wondery’s American Storytellers, journalist and poet Dorian Merina brings to life this pivotal war and its impact on America’s imperialistic visions and Filipinos fight for their freedom. Dorian will unpack how he decided to tell this story, how important it was to have Filipino voice actors and the fight for representation in the mainstream narrative. Journalist, poet and author Dorian Merina has taught and reported throughout Southeast Asia and in New York and Los Angeles. He co-hosts the podcast, Istorya Nu Ivatan, about life in Batanes and among the Ivatan, an indigenous group in the northern Philippines.

Getting the most out of Google Tools – March 16 at 8pm ET 

Access to information is more important than ever. And Google tools provide valuable, inventive and often unexpected ways for journalists to access and process information for the betterment of their stories and the benefit of their readers. SPJ and the Google News Initiative teamed up in 2015 to provide free training to journalists around the U.S. looking to apply these tools in their news gathering, reporting and storytelling. The programs are provided by talented, personable, knowledgeable SPJ members who have been trained by the Google News Initiative. But this training will be tailored to a more mainstream non-journalist audience. Google tools are useful regardless if you are a journalist or not and it can level up your search/research skills. In this session, we’ll cover the tools and techniques that will make you feel like a spy on the internet – from finding hidden documents, piecing together information to verifying images and getting context behind them. Attendees will come away with more than just an understanding of how to sleuth the internet like a spy or investigative reporter, they will also become familiar with the overall ethos of finding information on the web. Trainer Frank Bi (@frankiebi) is an editorial engineer at SB Nation where he works on the storytelling team designing and developing interactives and longform features. He lives in New York City.
