The Boston Globe and the American Society of Newspaper Editors

Colonnade Hotel in Boston, MA. "Diversity at Work: Connecting Journalists to
Jobs" is designed to bring together recruiters from the print, television and
radio industry with journalists of color.
Experienced journalists will also be on site to offer job seekers advice on
news articles and broadcast tapes, and experts will provide insight on
resume preparation. Attendees will have the opportunity to schedule
interviews with recruiters from national and regional newspapers, news
media companies, wire services, or TV and radio stations, based on
experience and interests. Scheduled interviews will be from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m., and there will be an open interview session from 3 to 5 p.m.
"Diversity at Work" will also feature a keynote address by Richard Chacón,
deputy foreign editor at The Boston Globe. In his ten years at the Globe,
Mr. Chacón has covered Latin America, higher education and Boston City
Hall. Prior to his role at the Globe, Mr. Chacón wrote editorials for
Newsday and was deputy media director for the 1992 Democratic National
Convention.
Job seekers are encouraged to bring their three best work samples and 15
copies of their resume. Business attire is suggested. Candidates
