Some archives of No Train, No Gain are available through the Internet Archive.
Thanks to Bill Bradley of Philadelphia, who pointed this out in a comment on my earlier blog post about the demise of NTNG, a resource for newsroom training materials, for which I volunteered for several years.
I haven’t explored it fully, but it doesn’t appear that all of the pages have been archived. But I am pleased to see that some have been. Some of my old workshop handouts I have found (most probably in need of updating):
- “You didn’t hear this from me …” (my workshop on dealing with confidential sources)
- Our cheating culture (my workshop on preventing and detecting plagiarism and fabrication)
- When do private matters become news?
- What’s fair game for public figures?
- Managing projects for successful results
- Tell your story in layers
- Grammar matters
- Strong from the start (my workshop on writing leads)
- Covering the big, breaking story
- Mastering your beat
- Scribbling with purpose (my workshop on taking notes)
And some training materials from others:
- Gregg McLachlan’s The But of all leads
- Laurie Hertzel’s Conquering deadline writing
- Joe Hight’s Find the clear path
- Joe Hight’s The Lucky 13 … ways to become a good writer
- Kevin McGrath’s Think short
- Vicki Simons’ Meeting watch
- Bill Luening’s Write tight
- Deborah Potter’s Revise and conquer
I doubt that everything from NTNG is in this archive. I’ve hit lots of dead links. But I’m glad to see that many of these training resources were saved.
