“Jim Pumarlo’s presentation on election coverage garnered many very favorable comments. Particularly important was his ability to engage the participants in discussion and the way he dealt with the new phenomenon of mail-in elections, giving many helpful ideas to our reporters and editors. His material was well organized and helpful, and even though I am several years out of a newsroom, every part of his presentation was helpful, innovative and practical. I really could have used this in my active years as an editor. Simply put, the session on Outstanding Election Coverage was just that… outstanding.”
