Sessions:

4:00-5:15 -- Nora Ephron; Telling the Story
"Just got out of the first session of the Nieman Narrative Journalism Conference, and already I’ve heard 'the call.' Come to Hollywood. Not exactly what I expected." -- Steve Crowe

"It took Nora Ephron only a quarter of an hour to reassure me that my decision to attend the conference all the way from Nigeria, was one of the wisest I had taken in my life." -- Bode Opeseitan

9:00-10:00 -- Bob Batz of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Angela Cara Pancrazio of the Arizona Republic; Nuts and Bolts of Starting and Maintaining Narrative Journalism Writers Groups and News Letters
"They came upon a diabolical plan -- ignore editor inertia and work from the bottom up by forming a group of reporters and photographers who would promote and encourage narrative work at the paper." Michael A. Fuoco
