Tickets now on sale for Griot Drum Awards!

The Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists would like to invite you to the premiere journalism event in the Tampa Bay area: the Fourth Annual Griot Drum Awards dinner.

Scheduled for 7;30 p.m. Nov. 20 at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, the Griot Drum Awards honors journalists in several categories, highlighting those who have excelled in coverage of issues important to people of color. Proceeds will fund our scholarships to aspiring young journalists of color.

Our keynote speaker this year is Mark McEwen, former anchor of CBS This Morning. Our 6 p.m. opening reception will feature a meet-and-greet with McEwen, who is touring the country speaking on his book about recovering from a stroke while working as a news anchor in Orlando.

We would love for you to join us. Tickets are $30 for TBABJ chapter members and $35 for non-members, or $300 for a table of ten.

Please feel free to contact me with any ticket orders, or print out the form below.

We're looking forward to seeing you next month!


Eric Deggans
TBABJ President
