A special @SPJLA thank you to @AlexiChid for her work putting together tonight's Distinguished Journalists Awards video. She made the evening a delight
During the pandemic, @latimes reporter @brittny_mejia worked regularly with photographer Irfan Khan. "I can’t put into words how incredible he is, both as a journalist and as a person. I feel like every time we go on assignment together, I always learn something new"
Daily Bulletin columnist @DavidAllen909, in a delightfully deadpan moment, says he feels vindicated by his @SPJLA award, since it shows that entering contests is a "waste of time." "You can actually not lift a finger, and an impressive award can fall out of the sky”
“Sometimes I can’t believe I get to do what I do," said @SPJLA Distinguished Journalist Award winner @josie_huang, reporter for @KPCCNews and @LAist. "People trust me with their stories, their experiences, their expertise.... It is really such a gift”
Join us TONIGHT at 7pm for @SPJLA’s Distinguished Journalists Awards! We’re excited to honor 5 exceptional journalists and a #FOI champion for this body of work. Still time to RSVP at https://t.co/ECihD3l5B5
"You can't stop Tami Abdollah," says Associated Press reporter @JPritchardAP, describing how @latams “constantly beat others” in her hot pursuit of stories. Adbollah is being honored tonight in @SPJLA’s digital news category
.@CAgovernor, why the hold up on #SB98?
The journalists in California should get the same protection that all other CA residents get today.
#SignSB98@GavinNewsom it's hard to do our job seeking the truth for the public, including your supporters, if we feel we're in danger.
Today, @POTUS made history by speaking the truth — as the first U.S. President to recognize the Armenian genocide.
Armenian Americans have long been the conscience for honesty, justice & human rights. Let's join them in keeping the promise of "never again."
#YesItsGenocide
It is an important day for all Armenians. Following the resolutions adopted by US Congress in 2019, President Biden honored the memory of victims of the Armenian Genocide. The US has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to protecting human rights and universal values
