We have booked our 65th Annual Journalism Awards Dinner for Thursday, May 24, 2012 at The Chart House, on the waterfront in Weehawken, NJ. The festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a cash bar. We are working to secure a keynote speaker for the evening and we will publish details in the next few issues of The Font Page. We will be keeping the cost down to $65 a person, a break-even price, for the fifth year in a row. Highlights of the dinner will include the installation of officers and trustees, presentation of a $1,000 check to the recipient of the 2012 Memorial Journalism Scholarship, the keynote speech and the presentation of the journalism awards. So, mark your calendar for an enjoyable evening.

 

 

 

 

 

Though we have a web site at www.gsjournalists.com, the Garden State Journalists Association has now created a group site on LinkedIn. For those of you who do not yet have a LinkedIn account, we urge you to sign up so that you can become part of our group site. The GSJA and its growing membership can now be a little more interactive on the web. The social media site allows members to post their thoughts and news on the industry and relative events. One can also read updates on GSJA meetings. Please contact Anthony Birritteri, Editor-in-Chief at NJ Business Magazine, when you have created a LinkedIn account and he will send out an invitation for you to join the Garden State Journalists Association group site. His e-mail address is a.birritteri@njbmagazine.com.
