SPJ Georgia

Strong SPJ showing at the annual conference in Minneapolis! ✨

president ran into president Sandy West during a powerful session on “Government Gagged.” Among the presenters: executive director Caroline Hendrie and national advocacy chair .

Great to see journalism organizations joining forces for these critical conversations about press freedom!

Last night’s “An Inside Look at Creator Journalism” conversation was a reminder that independent, fact-based journalism is evolving in exciting ways — and the future is being shaped by creators willing to build trust directly with their audiences.

Thank you to our speakers: Michele Hornish, Martin Kuz, Liz Kelly Nelson and moderator Patty Rasmussen for leading such a thoughtful and engaging discussion.

And thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such great questions to the conversation. If you missed it, you truly missed an engaging and timely discussion. Stay tuned for more SPJ Georgia programming ahead!

Thank you to journalists in Columbus — especially Toni Shah, associate editor of The Citizen of East Alabama — who joined us for the launch of our new media literacy campaign, “Georgia Knows Media.”

A special shoutout to our founding president Sharon Dunten for organizing the event, and to Harvest Coffee Co for hosting us. We’re excited to keep these conversations going across the peach state!
