AAN's fifth annual Medill Alternative Journalism Writing Workshop is scheduled for Sept. 21-23 in Evanston, Ill., and the second Classified Conference is booked for Minneapolis Nov. 2-3.
AAN decided not to name its annual editorial contest after Seldes because a significant number of AAN members, given a choice between Seldes and fellow late journalist Andrew Kopkind, voted in favor of not naming the contest at all.
It’s a good thing the AAN convention seminars are starting an hour later this year. “The attendees are going to be up late,” says Margo DuBos, publisher of host paper Gambit Weekly.
