What’s it like being a weathercaster? You can ask at SPJ San Diego’s Feb. 8 mixer at 57 Degrees. (Perfect venue, right?)

Please join us and many of the most popular newsroom personalities in town — weathercasters — for an afternoon of anecdotes and answers to your most pressing questions. (Yes, the forecast also calls for drinks and appetizers.)

As a special event for journalism students, SPJ San Diego and the SDSU Chapter of SPJ are co-hosting a résumé and interview workshop on Thursday, Feb. 5.

All college students are welcome. They will get a chance to have short one-on-one meetings with seven local editors from a big range of San Diego media outlets to get résumé, interviewing, clips and social media advice. Think speed-dating but with job advice.

It was one of the country’s most contentious congressional races, and when Carl DeMaio finally conceded to Scott Peters, five days after the polls closed, DeMaio told the Associated Press that “all, including myself, must be wary of the state of journalism today and where electoral politics are heading.”

Please join the Society of Professional Journalists Tuesday, Nov. 18, as we discuss that state of journalism and a congressional race unlike any other. Our panel includes Peters campaign communications director Alex Roth, DeMaio campaign communications director Dave McCulloch, U-T politics editor Michael Smolens, KPBS enterprise reporter Claire Trageser and NBC 7 producer Wendy Fry. They will dissect the campaign, the coverage and the allegations that continue to surface. You don’t want to miss hearing what they have to say or asking them questions of your own.

San Diego SPJ is co-hosting its second mixer on Wednesday, November 19 with the local Asian American Journalists Association, National Association of Black Journalists, National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Press Club and Online News Association chapters.
