President's Message
| 
For those who couldn't make it to our gathering Monday night with Turkish Review editor Kerim Balci, you missed a wonderful discussion. We had a 90-minute session that covered press freedoms and problems in Turkey, the day-to-day concerns of its daily newspapers, the different types of newspapers that are published in Turkey, the Turkish economy and its relationship to Middle Eastern and European countries, and Balci's own journalism career, which featured coverage of the 2nd Intifada in Israeli and Palestine, his work from London and other foreign capitals as a correspondent on international affairs, and his time in the Ankara Bureau (the national capital) of the Zaman Media Group. It was simply marvelous. I eventually had to put a stop to all the student questions, because Balci had two presentations to make the next day in Cleveland. From here, he flew to California to make presentations at two universities there before returning to Istanbul. For a student perspective on the event, check out the story in The Carroll News by John Carroll student Alyssa Fligge.
The stress workshop tomorrow will be reduced from two hours to one (still starting at 10 a.m.) because it's a small group. This will save us on room rental costs. We'll have fewer presenters, but you'll still get an excellent program and a chance for a chair massage, if you signed up to come. As one of those who's planning to be there, I think it's still great value for only $5.
Following the program, we'll have our board meeting tomorrow, starting at 11:30 a.m., when we'll adjourn to Aladdin's Eatery at 6901 Rockside Road in Independence, right near the location of the stress program. Members are always welcome at our board meetings, which like pretty much everything we do in SPJ is open to the public.
