FPC Needs College Speakers
Hello Members!
The Florida Press Club has relaunched its college speaker bureau, intended to broach the divide between professional journalists and aspiring ones. The Florida Press Club is asking its members to speak to journalism classes at colleges throughout the state. This is a fantastic way to reach out to your future colleagues and also a wonderful way to share your expertise.
We will need to know what type of class you would be interested in speaking to: reporting, editing, design, photography, research, etc. Also, if you have a particular beat that you think you might want to speak about, pop that in the note too. In addition, tell me which college(s) you would be willing to visit. Please e-mail us your full name, e-mail address and phone number, and a good time to reach you.

Scripps newspapers that serve its six largest markets -- Memphis and Knoxville in Tennessee, Naples and Treasure Coast in Florida, Ventura, Calif., and Corpus Christi, Texas -- will be considered "regional" media organizations, with the publishers serving on the new operating committee and reporting directly to Mark G. Contreras, Scripps's senior vice president of newspapers. Read The Editor & Publisher story here .
