SPJ Spring Conferences:
SPJ’s Spring Conferences are day-long professional development meetings bringing area journalists, students and journalism educators together in one place to hear from industry experts on topics ranging from improving writing to leveraging technology in today’s new media climate. Enhance yourself and your journalism career by attending a Spring Conference in your area. Available details — including dates, locations and contacts — are inside.
Sigma Delta Chi Awards:
Improving journalism takes more than criticizing bad practice. It also means exalting fine work. That's what these Sigma Delta Chi Awards are all about: a celebration of quality journalism.
SPJ’s Reporters Institute is a three-day crash course in the characteristics of outstanding journalism and the techniques of exceptional journalists. The Institute will prepare you to report the news using the latest technology, while maintaining the highest standards of responsible reporting. You’ll learn to put public records and information to work for public good. And, we’ll examine the culture of today’s newsroom, with tools to help your journalism career thrive.
Registration for both 2010 programs is now open for print and broadcast journalists, so get more info and apply today!
