Under the roof at the Bali Hai’s newly remodeled patio, journalists of all walks from across San Diego gathered to honor the best work of the past year at the San Diego SPJ’s Excellence in Journalism Awards on the evening of June 25.
KPBS' Kenny Goldberg accepts his award.
Before the night’s awards were handed out, guests enjoyed a Polynesian buffet dinner and had the opportunity to listen to guest speaker Jim Brady, media consultant and former executive editor of washingtonpost.com.
Former WashingtonPost.com executive editor Jim Brady will deliver the keynote speech at the SPJ San Diego Pro Chapter’s annual awards banquet Thursday, June 25 at the Bali Hai.
SPJ chapter members interested in running for one of the four open seats on the board of directors must declare their intent to run by this Friday, April 24 at 5 p.m. and provide bios of 200 words or less by Friday, May 1. Ballots will be mailed to all SPJ-SD chapter members in mid-May.
