(Updated) Announcing a digital journalism social hour!
Updated with October meet up presenter and location.
I’m willing to make a bet: There are multiple journalism projects here in Portland that you’ve never heard of, or if you have, you have no idea what they actually do. I’m talking startups, non profits and even the big guys — cool stuff is happening and we have no central place to find out about it.
Let’s fix that. Digital Journalism Portland and the Society of Professional Journalists Oregon and SW Washington Chapter are teaming up to bring you an informal social hour that showcases local, innovative digital journalism projects. Come hang out with your peers, have a drink and learn about the people who are changing our industry.

When: Sept. 24. 7 p.m.
Where: Lucky Lab Brew Pub: 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR 97214

October meet up
