Prison journalists
This is a long way away from Region 2, but it’s worth sharing.
Did you know there is a group of SPJ members inside a prison? San Quentin State Prison in Northern California.
I heard about this a few weeks ago, and read more details over the weekend at http://www.lifeofthelaw.org/2015/12/san-quentin-journalists:
Check out the copy of the (new) SPJ Code of Ethics in the group photo and read the inmates’ accounts of what journalism and SPJ mean to them.
There’s a lot to think about here.
(Cheers to Peter Sussman for sharing this link with me and for his advocacy on this topic)
