Graniteville Train Wreck discussion
Bloggers:
The train wreck in Graniteville, S.C. on Jan. 6 was national news. Journalists from local and national news organizations reported on this disaster, which happened in our back yard. Even now questions remain about the safety of transporting dangerous chemicals by rail, public safety officials' responsiveness in the hours immediately after the accident, and the quality of life of the residents in that area. The campus chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists will convene a panel of reporters and editors from The State, WIS and WLTX to talk about the challenges of disaster reporting and reflect on their own efforts in covering this story. The meeting will be Wednesday, March 16, 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Room 209, Davis College. This will be a fascinating discussion. Come join us.
Cheers,
Professor Wiggins

Hi there,
I'm Speak Out Manager at the martini lounge, and we are looking to pair up with people interested in journalism, especially those looking for writing experience.
I did a search on GOOGLE for "future journalists" and your site popped up, hence i'm asking you to spread the word to anyone who has contacted you with questions about writing openings.

Thanks - Jen Merritt
