GAY AND LESBIAN JOURNALISTS CONVERGE AT S.F. CONFERENCE

Attention! Do you know about the important and unprecedented conference 
coming up for lesbians and gays in the news media?

It's not too late to join hundreds of professional journalists at the 
"Making History" conference of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists 
Association  on Gay Pride Weekend in San Francisco, June 25 to 27, 1992. 
FOR DETAILS, CALL CONFERENCE CENTRAL: 415 474-5991. OR E-MAIL TO LISA 
GEDULDIG AT nlgja@igc.org.

For the first time, lesbian and gay media professionals will converge 
from all over the country to meet and discuss critical issues of 
workplace equity and portrayal of the gay community in the media.
Hear Andrew Sullivan, editor of The New Republic; author Randy Shilts; 
columnist Michelangelo Signorile, and filmmaker Marlon Riggs.

Also, see a symposium of non-gay editors and gay journalists on the 
subject "Gay Issues Go Mainstream: How Do You Cope?" Participants

Maynard, editor and publisher The Oakland Tribune; Emerald Yeh, anchor, 
KRON-TV, San Francisco; Narda Zacchino, associate editor, Los Angeles
