A coalition of journalists and local media companies is again offering a summer journalism workshop in San Diego for high school juniors and seniors interested in possible careers in journalism – the 28th annual Multicultural Journalism Workshop.
White House correspondent to keynote SPJ annual awards banquet

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.
Got ideas? Tell us what you want from your SPJ chapter
The chapter board is planning now for the 2009-10 year of events, so let us know your ideas. We’re bouncing around ideas for skills workshops (multimedia training and the like), a program on San Diego’s new trend in niche media, a program on using social media, a program on boosting your freelance career, a panel on women in journalism, and a student/pro mixer, plus programs focusing on ethics, Sunshine Week, and diversity. We’re also working on a mentor/mentee program and, possibly, a job board.
