Lunch and Learn: Retail

From niche items to necessities, consumer spending can tell you a lot about the economic health of your community, and we’ll share tips on how you can explore different angles within the retail beat.

More about the Reynolds Center's Lunch & Learn series: 

Join Dr. Jeffrey Timmermans of the Reynolds Center as we dig into a different beat topic each month to explore a business journalist’s perspective, share tips on how you can elevate your reporting and provide valuable insights for any experience level! 

This Lunch and Learn series is for all ASU students and will be held in-person at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication on the downtown Phoenix ASU Campus in Room 355. 

Free lunch will be provided: vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. Please register to ensure enough food will be available for all students in attendance. If you have any other dietary restrictions, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can do our best to accommodate.
