JAWS' camp instructors are the best in the business. So take time now to sign up, or do a favor for a colleague and pass the word along. The program will include top-flight training on how to search for and analyze information. And for the first time, we'll be making computer camp a joint venture with organizations for journalists of color in Sacramento. If you're interested, register soon.
Places are likely to fill up.
Look elsewhere in this newsletter for details about how to register. While some JAWS members have been hard at work on computer camp, others joined the three diversity roundtables sponsored by the American Society of Newspaper Editors this winter. Special thanks to Joy Cook, Cheryl Hampton, Suzanne Hoholik, Sharon Rosenhause and Betty Anne Williams for participating. The point of these discussions was to gather the best thinking about how to make our newsrooms as racially diverse as the nation's population by 2025 or sooner. This is the goal of the mission statement ASNE adopted last fall.
