Upcoming Event – Idaho Press Club Forum

The Idaho Press Club will be presenting a discussion forum featuring firsthand accounts from journalists who covered the Joseph Duncan trial. You’ll be able to hear “what it was like to report on one of the most horrific crimes in Idaho’s history– the legal challenges and media access issues, the ethical choices of balancing the truth with potential harm and the challenge of balancing personal trauma with professional responsibilities.“

The panel will consist of:
Rebecca Boone, Associated Press
Betsy Russell, Spokesman-Review
Alyson Oüten, KTVB News Group

Todd Dvorak of the Associated Press will moderate.

Time, date and all of those other pesky details:

Thursday, September 25th, at 6:00 PM
Boise Water Cooler
1401 W. Idaho

Open to the first 45 to RSVP to (208) 389-2879 or emailto:email@idahopressclub.org

$5.00 members and students, $10 non-members

Upcoming Event – Magic Valley Advertising Federation

This is very much a last minute thing, but I just came across it… Perhaps someone from the Magic Valley Advertising Federation can give me a heads-up next time so people have a little advanced notice (hint, hint).

Anyways…

Duane “DJ” Sprague, General Manager of LHM Advertising, will be speaking to the Magic Valley Advertising Federation on Thursday, September 11th, about “the chemical differences in the brain that make women and men different, how they learn and communicate, and how best to target each with advertising.”

The presentation will be held at the Twin Falls Shilo Inn. For those who would like to attend, RSVPs should be directed to Melissa Crane (or by phone to 208-308-0488).
