TBABJ Sponsoring Feb. 15 Reception for PBS Host Gwen Ifill at Poynter Institute


PBS host Gwen Ifill will be the honored guest of a reception co-sponsored by the Tampa
Bay Association of Black Journalists Feb. 15, when she brings her show Washington Week to St. Petersburg's Mahaffey Theater.

After the 3 p.m. taping, which includes a half-hour local show to be aired on WEDU-Ch. 3 after her national version, Ifill will come to the Poynter Institute for Media Studies for a fundraising appearance. Her meet-and-greet reception co-sponsored by TBABJ will follow that appearance, starting at 7:15 p.m. at the Poynter Institute, 800 Third St. South, St. Petersburg.

Friends and members of the TBABJ will be able to attend the reception for free. Please email us if you plan to attend, though walk-ups are welcome. To attend the 6 p.m. presentation at Poynter, you must pay a $25 donation.

If you have any questions, feel free to email TBABJ president Eric Deggans or call 727-893-8521.
