Application Deadline: Dori Maynard Diversity Leadership Program
SPJ works to promote a broader voice for diverse journalists in newsrooms across the country, and to expand the depth and quality of news reporting through better sourcing. Diversity efforts are just as important within the SPJ membership as they are in newsrooms and in reporting. Strengthening SPJ's diversity membership representation is important to the organization's health and future. The Dori Maynard Diversity Leadership Program is an opportunity for members to become more acquainted with SPJ through exposure to the Society. This educational process begins at the national conference and includes a complimentary conference registration and paid travel to the event. Each year, SPJ selects six members to participate in the program and they are referred to as SPJ Diversity Leadership Fellows.

SPJ Georgia Podcasting Workshop
Podcasting is one of the fastest-growing categories of long-form journalism, with U.S. listeners rapidly trading in their playlists for daily podcasts. Roughly one quarter of Americans listen to podcasts on a monthly basis.
Interested in getting in on the action? SPJ Georgia is here to help. We are hosting a podcasting workshop at Georgia Public Broadcasting headquarters. GPB director of podcasting Sean Powers will talk about what it takes to develop and produce a successful podcast, and will lead a group of speakers as they talk about the process of creating a podcast and marketing it to a larger audience.
The program will include a tour of the station. Best of all, it's free for SPJ Georgia members, who can register by sending an email to SPJGeorgia@Gmail.com with "Podcasting Workshop" in the subject line.

SPJ Ethics Week
SPJ's Code of Ethics states that ethical journalism is truthful, compassionate, independent and transparent. We need ethical journalism -- and journalists who work each day with the profession's highest standards in mind -- now more than ever. The goal of Ethics Week is to not only help journalists explain how they ethically cover stories, but to share with the public information about what journalists do, how to identify ethical journalism, where to find it and how to support it.
