The Baltimore Association of Black Journalists (BABJ) hosted its March meeting, “There’s an App for That: Free/Low-Cost Tools & Apps for Digital Journalists” with BABJ’s Vice President Benét J. Wilson Wednesday March 25, 2020.

Due to health concerns surrounding the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), BABJ opted for a webinar in an effort to implement social distancing and keep our members safe.

These days, we’re all trying to do our jobs smarter and more efficiently. There are plenty of free and low-cost tools and apps on the market that can help you do both. With the added threat of COVID-19 and a need for more social distancing, BABJ wants to do our part to keep journalists equipped and protected.

More than 15 participants signed on for the hourlong interactive information sharing discussion.

Wilson offered up a lightning presentation sharing some of her favorites digital apps for mobile devices, laptops and desktop computers. At least four participants also jumped in to share the apps they frequently use to help with news gathering.
