Twin Cities Chapter Events

Welcome to the new ASBPE Twin Cities Chapter Blog!
The Twin Cities Chapter has begun this new blog to keep you updated on what's happening with ASBPE in Minneapolis/St. Paul, including upcoming meetings, previous meetings and other information of interest to editors. If you'd like to receive automatic updates by email whenever there is a new post, sign up at right. (We won't sell or trade your email address.)

Welcome!

M/SP Summer Meeting
An advertiser that writes articles for your publication wants to include a line in their ad, stating, “Look for our article on page 47.” What do you do?

Your publisher wants to sell weblinks to advertisers … by linking their company names in your e-news stories to their websites. How do you answer?

An educational seminar is coming up that you’d like to cover. However it is on a cruise ship and your magazine can’t afford it. The company just called offering you free passage because a last-minute cancellation opened a spot. Do you accept?

The late summer meeting of ASBPE/Twin Cities included a lively discussion of these and several such ethical questions that editors face on a regular basis, along with a review of ASBPE’s new “Guide to Preferred Ethical Practices.” While no two editors had the exact same answer to any of the questions, we came away from the meeting with a deeper understanding of ethics and the realization that we’re all in the same boat!

M/SP Winter Meeting

We are working on the schedule for one last 2006 meeting. It will be a very casual, pre-holiday, mid-afternoon, coffee-shop meeting.

Keep an eye on this page for more information.

ASBPE Member Benefits

We'd like to welcome the three new members who joined ASBPE since our last meeting, and encourage others to join.

Of course, you are welcome to join in our meetings whether you are an ASBPE member or not!
