The Indianapolis Association of Black Journalists (IABJ) is excited to host its first Meet the Media Night since the pandemic on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at the Skyline Club in downtown Indianapolis in collaboration with the PRSA Hoosier Chapter. This annual event serves as the primary scholarship fundraiser for Indiana college students aspiring to careers in media and public relations.

The public is invited to meet members of the media including owners, CEOs, management, anchors, reporters, producers, directors, technicians, digital journalists and social media experts, along with public relations and marketing professionals.

“Living Your Best Life” has been designated as the theme for this year’s Meet the Media Night. “We felt it was very important to address the unprecedented stress attributed to COVID-19 related issues in the industry, as well as throughout communities in Indiana and all over the world,” said Vernon Williams, president of IABJ.

Guests will enjoy a panel discussion with a focus on the complexities of coping, mental health and tips on how to move forward and live your best life. There will also be a LIVE painter and saxophonist, a DJ, games, prizes, a 360-camera photo op, hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar. Tickets are $25 and available here.
