President's Message
|  As your president, I get one perk this year but it's fabulous: an all-expenses-paid trip to SPJ's annual national conference. This year it's in New Orleans, and it's happening this weekend. I cannot think of a U.S. city I'm more interested in visiting, especially in the company of fellow journalists from across the country. Some of us - myself included - will be touring the levees to see what's been done to fix them since their failure in Hurricane Katrina. If I registered correctly I'll also be among a group that visits the Times-Picayune newsroom to talk to journalists there who did such an outstanding job of covering Katrina under very difficult circumstances. After seeing Mike Walter's documentary, " Breaking News, Breaking Down," on Sept. 6 and hearing Walter speak several times when he was here, I have many questions and much respect for New Orleans' journalists. One thing I learned from Walter was that coping with disaster coverage is much harder when it's in your hometown. You encounter the people and places and lingering sights that continue to spur emotional reactions, day after day. It's your community that is affected, sometimes overwhelmingly. Katrina has been among the most difficult for those who live in New Orleans, not just because it destroyed so much of the city but also because its aftermath has been so prolonged. I will be interested to learn what's still going on, six years later. In addition to these opportunities, the four-day Excellence in Journalism conference will give me training workshops (I'm signed up for one called Mobile Tools for Journalists), panel discussions, keynote speakers and best of all, the chance to hang out with some of America's finest journalists, a number of them friends from previous national events. And of course, I'm anxious to hear some live jazz and sample some great Cajun cuisine. Since I am a Montrealer, born and bred, I'll particularly enjoy being immersed in French culture with a uniquely American twist. I'll have some comments next week on what it was like. I also hope to do some live tweeting, so check out my Twitter feed at Carobella3 if you're interested. I think the hashtag is #EIJ1 (which stands for Excellence in Journalism 1, because it's the first annual conference of that name, though not the first national SPJ conference, by a long shot!). Meanwhile, have a great weekend, everyone! I know I will.

Bring your stress and leave it behind
|
Are you stressed? If so, you are not alone.
As journalists, we know our workload has increased, while our workforce has decreased. That often leads to fewer lunch breaks, more cigarettes and junk food, longer hours, no time for exercise, and poor sleep habits.
Cleveland SPJ wants to give you some low-cost and no-cost ways to reduce your stress and maintain your health.
From 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 29, join us in Classroom 225 of an office building at 6611 Rockside Road, Independence, just east of I-77.
Three holistic practitioners will present views on stress management using hypnosis, music, meditation and massage/reflexology. The event will end with a group session of deep relaxation. Chair massages and snacks of fresh fruit may be available.
A fee of $5 will be charged. Hold the date. RSVP info will be announced.
