05 Feb Save the date for storytelling event and news trivia night

The SPJ Western WA Pro Chapter has a lot going on in February. Sign up now for the first two highlights below and save the date for the rest!

We’ve launched the 2015 SPJ Northwest Excellence in Journalism contest! Send us your best work from last year! Deadline is Feb. 15. We’re also in search of judges to volunteer to read entries from another SPJ chapter’s regional contest, so please sign up for that if you can.

Our first continuing education event is at UW on Feb. 11: “J-School in a Night.” Reserve your spot. J-School In a Night has something for everyone. Attendees can choose 3 out of 4 offered sessions on ethics, story structure, photography and pitching taught by working journalists across a variety of media channels and expertise including newspapers, radio, magazines and lifestyle websites. Find out more about it on the SPJ Western WA Pro Chapter blog.

And March 10, we’ll have another continuing education event at The Seattle Times that will cover storytelling. We’re calling this “Light my fire.”

Save the date! On April 21, we’ll head down to the Machine House Brewery for current news trivia night with “Jeopardy” champion Glenn Fleishman as our emcee!
