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.
College Speakers BureauJoe Adams of The Florida Times-Union has been selected to receive the 2007 Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award, sponsored by the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation.
An editorial page writer for the Florida-Times Union, Adams has received countless awards for his efforts to defend freedom of information. He spent 10 years and several thousand hours of research producing and authoring the Florida Public Records Handbook,a publication used by hundreds of Florida journalists and a number of universities as a teaching tool.
