College Media Matters

Back by popular demand, below is an updated list of what I consider to be the most indispensable national-level get-togethers for those who are practicing, teaching, and learning the craft of journalism.  They focus on a variety of skills and media and cover both the educational and professional sides of the field.  (Click on each image for more information.)

I have no doubt my student press and non-broadcast-background biases are showing and that I’ve left off a few worthy gatherings.  So please let me know, politely: What other conferences should be on the list???  Depending on their merits, I will add them immediately.  (To be clear upfront, I did not include workshops, boot camps or regional conferences.)
