See your favorite journalists show off their (hidden) talents by the people you trust most for your news!
AAJA-SD will be hosting a talent show, featuring 15 acts from folks within the media industry.
So far, we have:
…a political reporter who plays in a reggae band and is a big fan of Lady Gaga (but then, who isn’t a big fan of Lady Gaga?)
…a biz reporter who can hula like there’s no tomorrow
…and an editor who can score 100 free throw shots in a row
Robert Santos (Host)
Curious as to who they are? You’ll have to come to find out!
Find out who should leave his day job to show off his talent, who should stick to his reporting gig and never perform again, and who should just be thankful she’s hot.
The event will be hosted by Robert Santos, a reporter from ABC Channel 10.
Guest judges include:
Jenny Hamel, reporter from San Diego Channel 6 The CW
Neil Senturia, CEO of San Diego News Network
Ken Kramer, reporter from KPBS
The event will take place at the beautiful and fun Onyx Room, a night club with hip music and old school cocktails.
The Onyx Room
