Reminder: Wednesday, Oct. 14 is the deadline to register for the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association’s Oct. 21 Fall Conference awards dinner. Our keynote speaker is George Papajohn, Associate Managing Editor/Investigations and Consumer Watchdog, Chicago Tribune. He’ll talk about the continued necessity of watchdog reporting, at all sizes of newspapers, in an age of economic uncertainty.
In 2007, George directed the Tribune’s "Hidden Hazards" project, which uncovered dangerous children's products and won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting. That series led to a major overhaul of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. He has worked on investigative projects at the Tribune for 10 years, and helped edit the paper's Pulitzer-winning project on air travel called "Gateway to Gridlock" in 2000. He is co-author of "Murder of Innocence," an investigative account of a schoolhouse shooting.
All info about the conference, including the registration form, can be found HERE. We need an accurate dinner count by the end of the day Wednesday, Oct. 14. If your check arrives a few days behind your registration form, that’s OK.
