NEFAC: Boston Globe’s Blotter Tales and How to Find Tales of Your Own to Tell

Every day, police officers respond to reports of all sorts of events most of which never make the news. The Boston Globe’s Blotter Tales — reported by Emily Sweeney — features many amusing, shocking and heart-breaking incidents from the police log books (a.k.a. blotters) in our communities. Join us as we speak to Emily about the most surprising stories she found and how she found them. We’ll also discuss a new contest for student journalists who want to use the skills Emily describes to find their own stories . . . and win great prizes.
