(Black PR Wire) – The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) will host the 2013 Media Institute for Professionals and Entrepreneurs, Friday, September 27, 8:30 a.m. at the Associated Press New York headquarters, 450 W. 33rd St., New York, NY, 10001.
The conference is the group’s fifth annual convening, and is an effort to highlight promising and emerging trends at the intersection of public relations and journalism. The Institute is organized and hosted by NABJ’s Associate Member Task Force, which is a group of public relations, media, marketing, and education professionals.
“The Media Institute presents a tremendous opportunity to gather professionals for rich dialogue around the topics of the day such as the marriage of traditional and new media in journalism and public relations, career advancement, and industry ethics,” said Dawn A. Roberts, NABJ Board of Directors, Associate Representative.
Freelance and transitioning journalists, public relations practitioners, entrepreneurs, and students are the expected audience.
The NABJ’s strategic partners will be sponsoring this year’s Institute. The Institute is being held in conjunction with NABJ’s Region I conference which is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, also at the same venue.
Terrie M. Williams is the keynote speaker. Williams is Founder/President of The Terrie Williams Agency, a mental health advocate, and the Author of “Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting.”
The NABJ’s primary role as an advocacy group for journalists of color drives its priority to establish relationships with mission-like organizations, and those who can help advance its work.
