The San Diego SPJ Chapter is proud to announce its 2016 Journalist of the Year: Mario Koran, a reporter at Voice of San Diego.
We chose to honor Koran both for breaking one of the biggest stories of the year that helped lead to a school board trustee’s resignation and for his comprehensive coverage of San Diego’s education that aims to fill readers’ needs.
The SPJ San Diego Pro Chapter is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 SPJ San Diego Area Journalism Awards Contest.
Registration is now open for our June 21 Bench Bar Media Event, “Eyewitness to Change: How the O.J. Simpson Case Altered How Media Covers the Courts,” with retired AP special correspondent Linda Deutsch and Loyola School of Law professor Laurie Levenson.
The event is free and open exclusively to members of the bar, court and SPJ. Please register here.
Please join SPJ in celebrating the Sunshine Award winner, as well as the Window and Wall nominees, on Wednesday, April 6 at Fifty Seven Degrees. We will toast the winners at a reception beginning at 6 p.m.
The San Diego Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists is proud to present Maksim Pecherskiy with its annual Sunshine Award for his work to create an open data portal at the city of San Diego. Sunshine Week celebrates the importance of open access, underscores the value of transparent government and reminds the public of their right to government information. As San Diego’s chief data officer, Pecherskiy has done all three.
