This year SPJ Rio Grande is hosting the SPJ Region 9 Conference, in concert with the UNM SPJ Student Chapter.

We’re inviting journalists from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and West Texas in addition to New Mexico. The dates are April 5-6, at the UNM Continuing Education Conference Center in Albuquerque.

Members of your chapter are putting together a packed two days of workshops, speakers, networking opportunities and breakouts. Topics include:

  • Reporting on the climate crisis in the West.
  • Covering cannabis, from business to health to justice.
  • The border: Reality vs. perception.
  • Collaborating across the urban-rural divide.

We’re also planning happy hours, a silent auction and a special headliner guest!
