Welcome

Well, after our other Web site went away (and hey, who needed all those spammers who tried to sign on to the message boards), we needed someplace to keep people up to date on what's happening for journalists in Southern California.

So, here we are.

At this least, I'll be posting names of finalists for the Southern California Excellence in Journalism Awards here. And whenever an event comes across my vast array of e-mails, I'll post it here.

Thanks for your interest.
