Come celebrate the end of the year with the San Diego chapters of the Online News Association and the Society of Professional Journalists.
We’re getting together for drinks and mingling and to share our meanest tweets and/or online comments. Yes, that’s right, it’ll be our own version of Jimmy Kimmel’s “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets.” We’ll take turns on the mic reading the actual awful things people have said about us online.
Dear SPJ members and banquet attendees:
I want to share one final update on our 2015 journalism awards banquet at the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego, where dozens of us got so sick.
First, I want to apologize again for that experience. It ruined an otherwise fantastic celebration of our myriad accomplishments. I choose to focus on the evening instead of what followed. And I choose to look ahead to next year’s banquet, when we will honor the region’s excellent journalists one more time and celebrate our new distinction as the Society of Professional Journalists’ 2015 chapter of the year. That is something we should all be proud of.
San Diego Society of Professional Journalists
