SPJ San Diego is proud to announce the 2015 San Diego Journalist of the Year:
Jeff McDonald, a staff writer at U-T San Diego.
We honor McDonald for covering a story so complex and bureaucratic that many journalists wouldn’t even know where to start: how state regulators handled the shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
“No, no, leave the rooster story alone. That’s human interest.”
SPJ San Diego is looking for new recruits to join its team of whacky journalists dedicated to supporting San Diego’s journalism community.
Board members help plan events, judge other chapters’ contests and give input on the direction San Diego’s SPJ chapter takes in the future. We meet once a month and usually have one event a month, either a mixer, panel, or presentation.
A review of coverage of Robin Williams’ death, how to appropriately address mental illness and suicide when reporting, and resources for journalists.
Calling all journalists and members of the media. Please join us for an important educational dialogue about reporting on suicide and mental illness.
“He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo.”
Come kick back and drink craft beer with your fellow journalists at SPJ San Diego’s movie event on Sunday, April 12 at Waypoint Public in North Park. We’ll be watching the quintessential San Diego journalism movie, Anchorman (the original).
