2010 SPJ Convention Call for Programs:
We are now accepting program proposals for the 2010 SPJ National Convention. If you have an idea for a convention session and are interested in taking part, please follow this link to submit your proposal.
While supplies last:
Order your copy of “100,” the SPJ centennial book. It’s a true piece of journalism history.
SPJ and the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation released the book to commemorate a century of improving and protecting journalism. Buy this memento ($9.99 per book) and own a limited edition of the publication that captures SPJ’s first 100 years. First, take a trip down memory lane with an overview of the organization’s beginnings and images of the founders and past Quill magazine covers. Then look ahead with some of the industry’s most prominent individuals, whose essays delve into the evolution of journalism and perpetuate the belief that fair, accurate and ethical reporting is a cornerstone of democracy.
The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation commissioned this commemorative project.
Buy yours today! Order online, or call Karen Grabowski at 317.927.8000 ext. 215.
The Journalist's Toolbox:
This free site from the Society of Professional Journalists contains thousands of links helpful for reporters, editors, educators or anyone else doing research. Edited by former Los Angeles Times reporter and DePaul instructor Mike Reilley, the site is organized by beats and industry topics such as Public Records, Crime, Legal Issues, Science, Environment, Journalism Jobs, Sports and more. The Toolbox is updated twice weekly and several times a day during prominent global breaking news events.
Narrative Writing Workshop:
SPJ invites early career reporters and front-line editors from small and mid-size daily newspapers to step out of the inverted pyramid and into the art of the storytelling! Through SPJ's Narrative Writing Workshops, participants will learn options for reinvigorating the writing craft.
Next Program: Portland, Ore., December 12. Registration is open, so sign up today! Additional dates and locations for upcoming Narrative Writing Workshop programs will appear shortly.
It's a wrap:
The 2009 SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference is now history! Thanks to everyone who attended, spoke, exhibited, performed and volunteered their time — because of you, the event was a roaring success.
If you couldn't join us in Indianapolis, this collection of streaming media (free to all members) and Working Press coverage is the next best thing.
