Please join us at our second annual Texas Tribune/MediaShift Mixer at ISOJ in Austin on April 3, 2014, sponsored by Digital First Media, KLRU and KUT. The Mixer will be a kickoff party for the 15th Annual International Symposium on Online Journalism (ISOJ), as well as a celebration of the launch of MediaShift’s new EducationShift section! It will be a great way to meet other people in the international community of online journalists or local Austin media folks — and without the crush of SXSW! You don’t have to attend ISOJ to attend the Mixer. But please RSVP here to reserve your spot!
