White House correspondent to keynote SPJ annual awards banquet
NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley will deliver the keynote speech at the SPJ San Diego Pro Chapter’s annual awards banquet Thursday, July 8 at the Bali Hai.
Scott Horsley
Horsley, a former SPJ-San Diego board member, will come on back home to share his take on life in the White House press corps. Horsley was appointed to the White House post after showing his reporting savvy on the 2008 campaign trail, traveling extensively with Sen. John McCain to cover the Arizona senator’s bid for the presidency. He had been an NPR San Diego-based business correspondent, covering the economy and energy, and he previously helped cover the 2004 presidential campaign. He also reported from the Pentagon during the early phases of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
SPJ-SD’s 2010 “Report Card on the Media” program will air on cable TV on three dates in April.
If you missed the February 25 event, which featured newsmakers grading the media on the coverage of their stories, you can catch the action in a half-hour program, hosted by Channel 4 Station Manager Dennis Morgigno, that will be broadcast on both Cox Cable and Time Warner on Channel 4 Saturday, April 17 at 3 p.m.; Wednesday, April 21 at 10 p.m.; and Thursday, April 22 at 4 p.m.
