(A can't-miss session at AEJMC)
The Champions of Editing is a yearly event at the Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication's annual conference. Formerly known as the Breakfast of Editing Champions, it's co-sponsored by the Newspaper & Online Newspaper Division and the Scholastic Journalism Division, and it has received financial support from the Dow Jones News Fund, ACES: The Society for Editing, and The Poynter Institute.
This annual gathering is open to anyone who teaches editing, appreciates editing or simply likes to hang around editing professors.
This year's speaker, Jess Marmor Shaw, leads the breaking news, public safety and engagement reporting teams for the San Francisco Chronicle. She also oversees the teams of editors and producers who manage the Chronicle’s digital platforms, including social media, SEO strategy and content, newsletters, SFChronicle.com and the Chronicle app. Shaw has over 15 years of experience in digital news strategy and previously led engagement initiatives at MarketWatch and oversaw the online night news desk at The Wall Street Journal.
