Media Access Workshop

The Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists
(PABJ), along with the Philadelphia Black Public
Relations Society (PBPRS), will host its annual Media
Access Workshop on Saturday, May 5 from 8:00 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. at the Philadelphia Inquirer Public Room,
400 North Broad Street. PABJ will provide free media
access training to non-profits with the goal of
breaking down the barriers these organizations may
face in gaining access to the media. The program will
include 5 courses led by area media professionals from
newspapers, ethnic press, broadcast (tv/radio), public
relations and the online journalism community. Area
non-profits are invited to attend this free event. If
you are a non-profit representative interested in
attending the training, please RSVP to Philadelphia
Inquirer photographer Sarah Glover at 215-854-5210.

Friday, April 6, is the filing deadline for anyone seeking election this year to the NABJ Board of Directors.
To see who has been certified to date, visit: http://www.nabj.org/members/elections/bios/index.html
The Elections Committee urges all members to consider seeking an office on the 14-member Board -- and then to declare their candidacies by Friday – and, yes, to vote in this year's elections, culminating on Friday, Aug. 10, for the 2007-2009 term.

Full members may vote for and seek the offices of president, vice president-print, vice president-broadcast, secretary, treasurer, parliamentarian and regional director. Associate and student members may do the same for their representatives.

Saturday, July 1, is the deadline for current or lapsed full, associate and student members to renew, or for first-time members to join in hopes of voting in this year's election via mail-in balloting before the convention in Las Vegas; via electronic balloting before and during the convention, and or on Election Day at the convention.

Eligible members can also cast their ballots electronically via the NABJ Web site from Friday, June 8 to Election Day, Friday, Aug. 10.
