2011: THE MEGA-JOURNALISM CONFERENCE IS COMING
On September 25-28, 2011, the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) and SPJ join forces to present the "Excellence in Journalism: 2011" conference in New Orleans.
The goal in establishing this conference is more than just creating a partnership between two of the premier organizations in the journalism world. It is to create the largest, most important national journalism conference of the year.
Held in one of the most dynamic locations in the United States - New Orleans, La. - the "Excellence in Journalism: 2011" conference will host more than 1,000 electronic and print journalists looking to add online and visual tools to their storytelling arsenals.
"This collaboration between SPJ and RTDNA is unparalleled in the journalism community and it makes perfect sense," said SPJ President Kevin Z. Smith. "We are excited at the prospects of what this means for our members and where this can lead both organizations. Sharing our resources and creating the ultimate conference means attendees will enjoy the best training, networking and social opportunities of the year."
The conference will feature dozens of workshops, from extended leadership training for newsroom leaders to hands-on advanced media sessions, taught by the best in our business. Additionally, our expanded exhibit floor offers attendees, vendors and guests a chance to interact at one of the best networking opportunities of the year.
"Almost every electronic journalist we've spoken to about the 2011 conference is thrilled for two reasons," said RTDNA Chairman Mark Kraham. "First, that RTDNA and SPJ are teaming up and second, that we're moving our annual conference from city to city again."

$101 Million Needed for 3,214 AIDS Patients Put on Waiting Lists in 9 States

President Obama has been urged to provide at least an additional $101 million to secure coverage through Fiscal Year 2010 and S. 3401, the “Addressing Cost Containment Measures to Ensure the Stability and Success of the ADAP” Act, would transfer $126 million from un-obligated Stimulus funds to provide assistance.

Project Vote is releasing a new poll and report tomorrow that addresses the views and concerns of America's disenfranchised citizens, long ignored in the public debate, preparing to vote in November and eager to be heard.
Project Vote is releasing a new poll and report tomorrow that addresses the views and concerns of America's disenfranchised citizens, long ignored in the public debate, preparing to vote in November and eager to be heard.
Watch a short video about Project Vote's new poll here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1izmrF7kfM4
We are having a media call-in briefing tomorrow morning @ 10AM EDT, 1-800-311-9403, Passcode: VOTE (#8683), and I can make the final report available to you now.
Entitled "What Happened to Hope and Change? A Poll of 2008 Voters," the poll shows how the minority, young and low-income voters who now form one-third of the electorate remain actively engaged in the 2010 midterm elections, fundamentally believe the government should do more to help people and hold opinions that are in stark contrast to the Tea Party-dominant, anti-government message that has distorted the public's understanding of what Americans want from the administration.
84% of black voters, 77% of youth voters, and 76% of low-income voters strongly support raising the minimum wage above the poverty line.
Among survey respondents self-identified as Tea Party supporters, 76% reported their personal financial situation as fairly good or very good; 76% are married; 78% went to college; 84% are working or retired; and 92% are White.
39% of low-income voters, 37% of black voters and 21% of youth voters reported having to worry about buying food for their families in the past year struggled to eat. Less than 6% of Tea Party supporters reported the same struggles.
71% of black voters, 59% of youth voters, and 60.5% of low-income voters strongly agree that government should work to provide for the needs of all citizens. Only 20% of Tea Party sympathizers agreed.
69% of black voters, 57% of youth voters, and 59% of low-income voters believe the federal government should work to ensure that all able and willing Americans have work.
70% of black voters, 61% of low-income voters and 55% of young voters approve of government spending to help homeowners facing foreclosure, compared to 40% percent of all voters and just 13% of Tea Party sympathizers.
Conducted by Discovery Research Group - based in Salt Lake City, Utah - for Project Vote between July 7, 2010 and August 11, 2010 and written and analyzed by Project Vote Director of Research Dr. Lorraine Minnite, a leading researcher of voting trends, social change and institutional reform, the poll surveyed 1,947 Americans who cast ballots in 2008, with oversamples of Black voters, low-income voters, and voters under the age of 30 which allowed Project Vote to make reliable comparisons among these emerging electorate groups to self-identified Tea Party sympathizers and the overall national voter pool.
Broadcast-quality video highlights, b-roll and first-person testimonials from Dr. Minnite and actual poll participants throughout the country are available for download here: http://dsledproductions.com/project%20vote/
