Also make sure to check out the stuff below the pitches. I've got tons to say this week!

A Brief Photo Guide
Unsure about what you're supposed to do as a photo volunteer? Don't know what a "pitch" is? Worry not! Check out this quick guide that covers the basics of the Gateway's photo section. If you read the photo guide last year, this one has some new info.
Join the Gateway Slack and Facebook group!
These will allow me to message you in a more informal and instant setting so quick messages can be sent quickly and easily! It also makes it easier to message a bunch of you at the same time.

Canadian University Press Equity Reporting Workshop
I'm guessing it will be mainly focused on journalism in writing rather than photojournalism, but if you're interested then feel free to let me know!
Alberta Magazine Publisher's Association Anti-Racism Training Webinar
As I said for the above workshop, this webinar will most likely be mainly focused on journalism in writing rather than photojournalism. If you're interested then feel free to let me know! The deadline to tell me is this Sunday evening at 5PM. Please don't sign up and pay without telling me because if you're interested we can cover the ticket price.
Questions?
If you have any questions at all please send me an email or ask me next photo meeting!
