Thank you to all who joined us for NABJ-RDU's first general body meeting of 2025 featuring guest speaker Frank Tramble, Vice President for Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs at Duke University. We're also celebrating Duke University's NABJ Student Chapter which was established in 2024!
NABJ-RDU’s Holiday Mixer was a night to remember, celebrating with incredible members, and honoring the legendary anchor Anthony Wilson of ABC11-WTVD, who retired after over 50 years in broadcast journalism. A two-time chapter president, Anthony also dedicated decades to mentoring students through NABJ’s Multimedia Short Course at North Carolina A&T.
A special thank you to the TheHouse Restaurant in Durham, their fantastic live band, and attentive staff made the evening unforgettable.
Happy Holidays to all!
The Raleigh Durham Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ-RDU) hosted a “Making News” Media Access Workshop on October 5th. This interactive event brought together non-profit organizations, small businesses, and student leaders for a hands-on experience in media engagement.
Over the course of 4 hours, media professionals shared valuable insights on newsgathering, news story development, public service announcements, and commercial advertising.
Moderated by CBS17 News Anchor Rod Carter, the workshop empowered participants to collaborate with news organizations, craft effective press releases, and boost their publicity efforts. Attendees also gained valuable skills in online and social media outreach, AI tools, and interview preparation.
The event took place at NC State University’s Witherspoon Student Center’s Washington Sankofa (126).
Media professionals and students, please join us for an important conversation during this election season – "Voting with Purpose: A Guide to Informed Voting." We'll welcome special guest Derek L. Bowens, Director of Elections for Durham County. The discussion will be followed by our September General Body Meeting. Space is limited. Please RSVP by September 27 at https://bit.ly/3XKGeg0.
