“Will Work for Food” at the Region 3 Convention

“Will Work for Food” was the unconventional name given to one of the most successful elements of this year’s SPJ Region 3 Convention. On the evening of Saturday, April 4th, a group of 50 convention attendees took control of the Homeless Voice newspaper. They wrote, edited, shot, and designed a special issue of the paper, which is published in Broward County, Florida. But enough of the plain, text description of this event.
