CCW MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Special Guests: Trish Dyer & Andrew Seymour April 8, 2009 at 7 p.m.

The April 8th meeting of Capital Crime Writers will focus on the experiences of reporters and journalists who cover criminal cases and court proceedings. The format will be an "interview" between two reporters with a lot of experience in the field.

Trish Dyer, one of our CCW members, covered crime for the Toronto Star in Ottawa, 1983-1990, when she joined the CBC as an investigative journalist covering criminal issues. She was with the CBC for 10 years, retiring in 2000, to set up her own writing business. Andrew Seymour has been the crime/court reporter with The Ottawa Citizen for the past three years. His articles routinely appear in The Citizen.

See you at the meeting,

Tom Curran
