REMINDER - PRSA-LA's At Breakfast With... an in-person event taking place at the SoCalGas Energy Resource Center in Downey tomorrow morning. Registration still available!

Come hear and meet three leading Southern California journalists and newsroom decision-makers for an intimate, in-person conversation:

· Lorraine Roe, Specials and Consumer Producer, NBC4 & Telemundo 52
· Anissa Rivera, Columnist, Southern California News Group
· Renee Eng, Anchor, The Rush Hour, Spectrum News 1
Moderated by Raul Gordillo of SoCalGas.

They’ll take you inside how affordability and consumer stories actually make it into the newsroom: what catches their attention, where they find stories and sources, which social platforms they follow, what makes a pitch work, and what makes them pass.

Best of all, this is in person. Bring your questions, meet the journalists, and walk away with insights you can use the next time you pitch.

September 24 | 8:30 AM
SoCalGas – Downey
Continental breakfast included
