OU SPJ's New Year, New Agenda

Hi everyone,

Welcome back from break! OU SPJ has a lot of exciting new ideas and plans to benefit all of you! First of all, we will now have our blog updated about twice a week with profiles, meeting information, interviews and any other interesting journalism information we can find! Our twitter and fan group will be reminding you of our meetings to come and keep you up-to-date with our national chapter. Our goal is to supplement your journalism education in any way we can to give you a leg up in such a competitive field.

Our first meeting of the quarter will be Tuesday January 12th at 5:00 p.m. We will be securing a computer lab for an iMovie Workshop with Taylor Mirfendereski, a J-school student, former NBC intern and OU SPJ's Vice President! Check out her website to see more of Taylor's credentials. This will be a great opportunity to branch out and get some interactive media experience- a must for today's journalists, who are expected to have knowledge in many areas of media. Check our twitter roll soon for the exact location!

In the meantime look forward to our agenda for the rest of the quarter. Things such as a Women in Communications meeting, an interview with a sports journalist, an anchoring workshop with RTNDA and our February Battle of the Bands! A collaborative event with ed2010 we will have 3 journalism judges, great bands and a lot of fun!

Stay in touch with this blog for more updates, news and valuable information to keep you current and in the know.
