URGENT MEETING NOTICE FOR 1/27

Folks,

Due to the impending winter storm that will be hitting the Athens area any time between now and tomorrow morning, SPJ has postponed its presentation by Yusuf Kalyango. We believe it is more important that he get home form campus safely than speak to us as originally scheduled.

Instead, we WILL STILL MEET tonight as planned in Scripps 111 at 5 p.m. However, we will be watching a documentary called "Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land" that discusses coverage of the Palestine-Israel situation. This should spark some very good debate.

AND as an added bonus, there is a presentation at 7 p.m. tonight in Baker Ballroom sponsored by Bobcats for Israel that will provide an alternative viewpoint of this hot button issue. Join some SPJers then to listen to Jeff Jacoby from The Boston Globe as he talks about "Why the media get the Middle East wrong."

Please be safe this evening - if you are driving, be especially careful - and we'll see those of you who can still safely make it at 5 p.m.!

Evan Millward
