SPJ speakers available to community
Journalists able to visit schools, non-profits

The Cincinnati Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists has a wide array of journalists and other media experts - from business writers to Web journalists to journalism professors - to speak to your classroom, school event, neighborhood meeting or other community event.

SPJ is a nearly 95-year-old broad-based media organization with chapters across the country and nearly 10,000 members. Cincinnati's SPJ chapter was founded in 1967. Locally, members come from newspaper, television, radio and Web-based media organizations.

Our speakers can address any number of journalism-related issues, share information on how the media works and how news is gathered and reported, plus answer your group's questions about a wide range of issues affecting the Greater Cincinnati area and the nation. Journalists can bring samples of their publication or broadcast and discuss in detail how they do their jobs.

Speakers are available in a 50-mile radius from downtown Cincinnati. There is no fee to use the speakers bureau.

Other factors, such as scheduling conflicts and topics covered, must be coordinated between the speaker and a designee with the organization where the speaker is requested. Changes and special requests by the organization are at the discretion of the speaker.

SPJ asks respect when requesting a speaker, including accurate and timely information and early notice for cancellations.
