Do No Harm: Community, Cameras, and Respect

Join this community conversation about the role of cameras in our community; how they can harm and how they can help.

Have you been filmed or photographed, with or without your permission, in a way that impacted your life?

Have you taken photographs or videos of people in Kensington?

Have images of Kensington colored the way you think about the community?

Join this community conversation about the role of cameras in our community; how they can harm and how they can help. Join neighbors and media professionals as we explore participatory methods of creating news stories, pictures and film and talk about how representation matters.

As a follow-up, we will share insights we discover together in a poster campaign throughout the neighborhood.

Jingle Bells for Journalists 2020

Join the Houston Pro chapter to socialize, network, celebrate and reflect as 2020 comes to an end. Our invitation is open to journalists, students, family, friends, and anyone interested in looking back on a tumultuous year and, more importantly, looking ahead with as much optimism as we can muster!

The event, run via Zoom, will feature games such as a trivia quiz, a silent auction to benefit Houston SPJ's Pagano Scholarship Fund, and a visit by Matthew Hall, national SPJ President. We will also have representatives from area journalism organizations in attendance.

We started the Susanne M. Pagano scholarship several years ago, shortly after Susanne, a hard-working colleague and long-time chapter officer, passed away suddenly. ?It's more than just a scholarship to us; it's a way of helping students carry forward Susanne's work. ?We offer a $1000 scholarship to an eligible student, to be applied against their tuition costs.

The scholarship fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We welcome donation of items or services to the silent auction. You can also make a donation to the scholarship fund when you register for the event. Email us with any questions, especially if you can't attend but would like to make a donation!

The Globalization of the 1st Amendment

December 15 marks the 229th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution. December 10 marks the 72nd anniversary of the passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Both documents enshrine the right to expression and freedom of the press.

What's next for White House coverage? Trump, Biden, and the future of US political reporting

As president-elect Joe Biden prepares to lead a deeply divided country, what's next for White House coverage? What can past coverage and recent experiences teach us about envisioning a better future for how journalists cover the president, and how Americans understand the United States?

This program is a partnership between the National Press Club Journalism Institute and the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Joining us with lessons from their firsthand experiences with the White House press corps are current Politico White House Correspondent Anita Kumar, former White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers, and longtime CBS White House Correspondent Bill Plante. The program will be moderated by Subbu Vincent, director of Journalism and Media Ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
