Society of Professional Journalists

From our pal Hilary, who says that Jennifer Rowell, military reporter at the Montgomery Advertiser, is working to start a Society of Professional Journalists chapter in Alabama:

Greetings! Ever feel the need to sharpen your journalism skills or network with other professional journalists? Here’s your chance!

The SPJ Alabama Pro Chapter will be hosting an interest meeting on July 16 at Speakeasy 1920, 1920 Third Ave. N. [map], from 5 to 7 p.m. Snacks will be provided.

In addition to professional development and networking opportunities, the Society of Professional Journalists is the nation’s most broad-based journalism organization, dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior.

Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, SPJ promotes the free flow of information vital to a well-informed citizenry through the daily work of its nearly 10,000 members; works to inspire and educate current and future journalists through professional development; and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and press through its advocacy efforts. SPJ is a group for print and broadcast alike.

Come and find out more about the SPJ Alabama Professional Chapter opportunities coming soon to central Alabama!

Meet us June 16 for our monthly mixer. We’ll be at Bottletree Cafe [map] from 5:30 to 7:30, sipping drinks and kicking back on the patio.

(Sorry about last month’s event: WorkPlay didn’t tell us or anyone that the bar would be closed for the concert. Grrr.)

We promise: No crazy last-minute location changes. No 1920s-style prohibition. No bad weather (fingers crossed).

Anyone in media, advertising, PR and Web should stop by — please tell your colleagues, friends and enemies to join us. Complete details are available on the Evite.

April showers bring MOB powers. OK, so we never could compose poetry.

[But we can find Waldo.]

Join us April 21 for our networking event at The Grape at The Summit [map]. MOBster Chianti Cleggett set up our patio outing, along with our MOB exclusive drink specials:

A special pinot noir and pinot grigio — normally $9 a glass — will be available to us for $7.

(Of course, if those aren’t your faves, you can pick anything from the extensive wine list or appetizer/dinner menu.
