The Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists would like to invite you to the premiere event for journalists of color in the Tampa Bay area: the Fourth Annual Griot Drum Awards and Scholarship 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 for CBS This Morning, who will talk about his life in journalism and his new book, Change in the Weather: Life After Stroke. Our host is ABC Action News anchor Deiah Riley.
Our 6 p.m. opening reception will feature a meet-and-greet with Mark, and a presentation on Midtown Through Our Eyes, a photo essay on St. Petersburg's predominantly black neighborhood taken by students in grades 4 through 9. Learn about it here.
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 fill out the attached order form and send it to the address below with a check or money order (made out to TBABJ). Or you can email deggans@sptimes.com or call 727-893-8521 to place an order. You will receive confirmation by email and/or telephone.
Sincerely,
Eric Deggans, TBABJ chapter president
