Arianna Huffington Headlining Black Journalists' Convention in Philadelphia

Founded in 1975 in Washington, D.C., the National Association of Black Journalists is one of the most influential African-American professional organizations in the country.

This year, 2,500 of us have convened in The City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, and the keynote speakers at the opening sessions are Attorney Gen. Eric Holder followed by my own top editor-in-chief, Arianna Huffington, host of "Left, Right and Center" and a nationally-known commentator and author.

I'm happy to represent the top southwest Atlanta journalists who write for Cascade Patch at the convention this week and I am spreading the news about our wonderful community and publication. Stay tuned to Cascade Patch for coverage of Huffington's address and the role Patch Media is playing at the 2011 NABJ convention.
