These days, it is virtually impossible to ignore sites like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and YouTube. Though many see them as “time-wasters” and mindless destinations for fun and socializing, they can also be valuable tools for journalists.

Join the Atlanta Press Club and the Southeast chapter of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) for a compelling panel discussion, Using Techology to Get the Story,on Thursday, June 4 at The Georgian Terrace. Panelists will share their insights on using social networking sites for reporting, non-traditional ways to use technology to promote your work, and how blogging adds extra dimensions to stories.
Also enjoy:
• free hors d'oeuvres,
• free parking at the Georgian Terrace Hotel, and
• a cash bar
• wi-fi access in private meeting room

Special thanks to Echo Garrett, Beverly Harzog and Maxine Rock who have generously donated their books for a drawing
