You Should Go To The SPJ Blogging Academy
You, there! What are you doing on Saturday? Nothing worthwhile, I assume.Therefore I suggest you look into attending the Arkansas Society of Professional Journalists Blogging Academy: An Introduction to Community Journalism in Little Rock, where they’ll have a bunch of so-called self-styled “experts” on hand to talk about how you, too, can make a name for yourself through a time consuming, non-paying hobby.
It’s at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law School (Room 305) from 10 a.m to 2 p.m, and panel sessions will focus on ethics and legal issues, accessing government and something called “blogging best practices.” I’m on the latter panel, so I assume they’ll be holding The Arkansas Project up as an example of what not to do.
Other participants include Max Brantley of the Arkansas Times, Steve Harrelson of Under the Dome and, uh, I forget who else. Hell, I don’t know, let’s say “Jason Tolbert.” OK, so no Tolbert, I’m informed.
And best of all, it’s all free, so get thee to the Facebook page to learn more and get registered.

Wow. I would really like to go. I can’t’ believe it’s only going to last 4 hours. That should really fly by. Oh, wait a minute, I have a voluntary root canal (with no anethesia) scheduled.
