Delaware Press Association Awards Banquet

Please join Delaware Press Association at the University & Whist Club, 805 N. Broom Street, Wilmington, DE, on May 4 for the 2017 Delaware Press Association Awards Banquet and 40-Year-Anniversary Gala, with favors for all and a special presentation from Rob Tornoe. Bring a guest or two to help us honor those who entered the DPA Communications Contests this year – professional communicators and high school journalists alike – and to enjoy the display of the award-winning contest entries.

Agenda

5:30 p.m. Social Hour with Cash Bar & Awards Display; Tête-à-Tête with Rob Tornoe
6:30 p.m. Dinner, Speaker, and Awards Presentation. Certificates will be presented to the contest award winners and $500 in cash prizes will be given to the contest sweepstakes winners.

Speaker: Rob Tornoe, Writer/Editor/Cartoonist, The Philadelphia Inquirer
DPA Awards Banquet speaker

Several years ago when featured in the quarterly DPA newsletter, cartoonist Rob Tornoe described himself as “an equal-opportunity offender” when it came to political cartoons.

We recently asked Rob – now also a writer and editor: Is there a serious side to being a cartoonist?  How does someone create a cartoon one day and a hard-news story the next day? And what can we learn about versatility and relevance in an ever-changing world of news media and social media.

Regional and national figures have been depicted in Rob’s many cartoons over the years, and he continues to thrive as a cartoonist, writer, and editor with Philly.com and The Philadelphia Inquirer. We will see some of Rob’s favorite cartoons – some famous, some infamous – and get a current take on today’s media landscape from someone in the media, who also covers the media.

Directions

From Pennsylvania Avenue (Route 52) heading north out of Wilmington, turn left on Broom Street or, if driving south from Route 141, turn right on Broom.

Boomer Reinvention

How do you meet the challenge of switching careers when you’ve been on the same track for decades?

Do you worry about how you would survive if you were suddenly downsized out of a job?

Nationally published writer and photojournalist Steve Lubetkin will tell his story of Boomer Reinvention — how he made the journey from print and broadcast news into PR and out again, not only reinventing himself as one of the first professional podcasters but also expanding a new-found business into a company that serves clients with news and feature content in audio, video, and with other multimedia content.
