Upcoming Events

Professional Writers of Austin Brunch Networking Event – Sunday, February 26, 11 a.m. at Rio’s Brazilian
RSVP here. Membership required to attend.

WriteByNight and PWA present Deadliners, an occasional journalism discussion series chaired by journalist Alex Hannaford. This month’s panel, Reporting the Border, will discuss the risks involved in reporting the Texas/Mexico border; the disconnect between what journalists see and what politicians tell us, particularly with regard to whether violence is, in fact, “spilling over the border”; and the controversial border wall. Reception and PWA networking to follow.

Panelists: Melissa del Bosque, staff writer at the Texas Observer; Cecilia Balli, professor of anthropology at UT; and Jeremy Schwartz, Mexico correspondent for the Austin American-Statesman

February 28 at WriteByNight Headquarters. Panel at 6:30 p.m. Networking reception 8-9:30 p.m. $5 at the door (refreshments provided).
