You and a friend can join award-winning business journalist and producer Megan Kamerick for lunch and a discussion of women in journalism at a mutually agreable time.

About Megan:

I am a freelance journalist and radio producer based in Albuquerque. I have been a journalist for 20 years, mostly in print.  As a business reporter and editor at the San Antonio Business Journal, New Orleans CityBusiness and the New Mexico Business Weekly, I covered numerous beats, including real estate, economic development, law, education,  tourism, the creative economy, philanthropy and the film/media industries. My work has also appeared in Art Business News, New Orleans Magazine and New Mexico Journeys.

I am currently working part-time as a host and producer at New Mexico PBS for the show “Public Square” and as an independent producer at KUNM radio on the conservation beat.   I also produce newscasts and interviews for the KUNM show “Women’s Focus.”

I am the immediate past president of the Journalism & Women Symposium and my talk on women and the media for TEDxABQ in 2011 is now on the TED.com national site. That prompted the Albuquerque Journal’s Sage Magazine to do a story on me.

I have received awards over  the years for  investigative pieces, arts coverage, environmental stories, profiles, breaking news and the portrayal of women. I was also named outstanding small business journalist in New Mexico by the U.S. Small Business Administration’s New Mexico office.
