Join us for the Sacramento Area Media Mixer – a chance for local journalists to network, unwind and meet other journalists.

The Asian American Journalists Association, Capital Public Radio, Patch.com and the Sacramento Press Club are co-hosting this free event. Appetizers will be served but drinks are on you. It’s a chance for journalists working in print, broadcast and online mediums to meet, network and get to know some …of the people they may only see at press conferences or on television.
Tuesday, March 1

5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Cafeteria 15L – 1116 15th St., Sacramento. In case of rain event will be moved next door to the Park Ultra Lounge.
