Save the Date: SPJ/LA to Host Panel on Hyper-Localism in
Los Angeles' Ethnic Communities on May 15
Save the Date: Thursday, May 15
The Greater Los Angeles chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists invites you to
join us on Thursday, May 15 for a discussion with journalists from the Latino, African
American, Asian and Arab-American media on covering the city's diverse ethnic
communities. Since LA has become an ethnic majority city, producing and investigating
local stories can be challenging, especially when it means crossing over ethnic language
and cultural barriers. These veteran journalists will share tips and insights on how
mainstream journalists can effectively pursue, and even partner with, ethnic media
journalists for stories that involve ethnic communities.
WHAT: Hyper-Localism in Los Angeles' Ethnic Communities
WHEN: 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 15
WHERE: Cal Plaza, Suite 3950, 300 S. Grand Ave.
RSVP: SPJ/LA's Julian Do at jdo@newamericamedia .org
More details will soon be posted on our Web site, http://spj.org/ losangeles.
