As we are in the middle of the busy-and-getting-busier holiday season, we thought it best to ask you to mark your calendars now for an early January event you won’t want to miss, presented by SPJ’s Washington, D.C., chapter.
If you ever wondered about a career in audio journalism, you shouldn’t miss An Evening with Sarah Ventre, 5 p.m. MST Monday, Jan. 8, 2024. Register for the webinar HERE.
The webinar, sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists D.C. Pro chapter, is free and open to all journalists and journalism students. It will be moderated by D.C. Pro vice president Celia Wexler.
Ventre, a Valley resident and graduate of Arizona State University, has been in the journalism business for about a dozen years. Her career history marks a path that has led to both steady career success and advancement.
You may know Ventre from the years her voice was heard on KJZZ-FM, the Phoenix NPR affiliate. She has produced for NPR, PBS, Gimlet, Vox, Critical Frequency, Crooked Media, Campside Media, The African American Policy Forum, Center for Science and the Imagination, and The Moth.
Her podcast, Unfinished: Short Creek, about a fundamentalist Mormon community on the Utah-Arizona border, was named one of 2020’s top podcasts by both The New Yorker and The Atlantic, and her reporting there won an Edward R. Murrow award for journalistic excellence. Ventre will discuss her career in audio investigative journalism, the perils and promise of embedded reporting, and how she has survived and thrived in a changing media landscape.
We want you to be part of the conversation. So come ready to have a chat with this accomplished journalist and bring your questions.
