Retiree Jerry Masek, a volunteer at The West Park Times, has been asked to serve as President of the Cleveland Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) for the 2023-24 program year.
A journalist since 1969, and a member since 1976, Masek has been recognized for service to journalism on the local, regional and national levels.
SPJ represents all journalists, whether they are members of the Society or not, in all modes of journalism — print, broadcast, freelance and online. The SPJ Code of Ethics is considered the industry standard. All Chapter programs and Board meetings are open to the public.
To learn more, go to the national or local Facebook pages, or www.spj.org, or www.clevelandSPJpro.com. The Pro Chapter works with student chapters at Cleveland State University and John Carroll University.
