SPJ looking for young journalists for panel
Hey Gen Jers, here's a note from SPJ's Holly Fisher:
Hello! I am organizing a panel discussion for the SPJ National Convention in Atlanta called "The first five years: You can do it."
Here's the description: For new journalists, the first five years can be brutal. The hours are long, the pay is low and the moves are frequent. It can be tempting to leave journalism for greener pastures. Hear from a panel of journalists going through the first five years and those who have survived. Get tips for making the most of your early career years while avoiding common mistakes. Leave energized and ready to move to the next phase of your career path.
I'm looking for journalists (print, broadcast, online) who are early in their careers and who are more established. If you would like to participate in this panel or know someone who would make a great panel participant, please contact me at holly(at)fishers2000.com. Thanks!
