Franklin Center’s Citizen Watchdog training program is dedicated to preserving and strengthening democracy through promoting citizen journalism and engaging the stakeholders of America’s future to serve as watchdogs at the local, state and federal level.

The public now has access to more tools that allow them to actively participate in government and to make their voice heard to the public at large, than at any time before in our history.  Do you want to enhance your journalism skills and become a more effective advocate for government transparency?  Are you interested in joining our army of citizen watchdogs?  Find out when our Citizen Watchdog training is coming to your state!

• Open Records and FOIA issues (your right to know)
• Blogger Basics

• Researching a Story and Fact Checking Sources
• Video Journalism
• Social Media techniques (Twitter, Facebook effectiveness and more)
