It's a ways off, but mark your calendars for the first weekend in April.
The Valley of the Sun Pro chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists will host the Region 11 Spring Conference April 3-4 at the Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU.
We're working on panel discussion topics right now, so don't be surprised if we come calling on some local talent (that's you!) to participate.
If you haven't been to the new J-school downtown, it's wild. Mark Scarp likens it to a "journalism theme park."
Except in a real journalism theme park, they'd only serve Lean Cuisine and burned microwave popcorn at all the concession stands. The "Deadline of Doom" roller coaster would only run once a day (OK, twice -- once before noon for online stories).
And no matter how many basketballs you threw through the hoop in hopes of winning a stuffed animal, an editor would be on hand to ask you to do it again, maybe this time from another angle.
