The Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) and the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) again are offering a one-day personal finance writers workshop in New York on Thursday, October 9 – before the start of the SABEW fall conference at CUNY.
This workshop is geared toward writers and bloggers, producers and editors, and broadcasters who are looking for innovative consumer finance stories they can deliver to their audience in compelling ways. We welcome journalists from all disciplines (lifestyle, features, investigative, general assignment, etc.) to this one-day informative event on personal finance issues.
The workshop will be held at Convene Times Square in midtown Manhattan.
BOB SULLIVAN is the author of four books, including the 2008 New York Times Best-Seller, Gotcha Capitalism, and the 2010 New York Times Best Seller, Stop Getting Ripped Off! His latest, The Plateau Effect, was published in 2013, and as a paperback, called Getting Unstuck.
He is now an independent journalist covering consumer and technology issues. His latest area of focus is “The Restless Project,” where he is covering the combination of economic anxiety and technological disruption that seems to leave most U.S. families feeling uneasy about the future. Topics include: the disappearing middle class; behind the numbers of the uneven recovery; a weekly “where does the money go” family budget feature; and the digital umbilical cord and how it impacts work-life balance.
Sullivan worked for MSNBC.com/NBC News for nearly 20 years, much of them creating and writing the popular consumer/tech blog The Red Tape Chronicles. He is still a contributor on CNBC.com and NBCNews.com, and continues to appear on NBC TV programs as a consumer and technology expert. He is also a contributor at Credit.com, where he is publishing a series called Debt Collection Files, about the collection industry. His stories have also appeared in The New York Times, New York magazine, BoingBoing.com, and on dozens of other sites.
