The Triangle Pro Chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists
will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Monday April 13 at the Park Ridge Apartments
in Durham.  Members and any other interested parties are invited to join
us for the meeting at the clubhouse in the complex.  We'll plan on 
socializing for the first half hour, proceeding to the program at 7:30.

The subject: Food Lion and the Media

In the summer of 1991, an article written by a Durham-based writer
appeared in several publications, including three in NC, that raised
allegations of unfair labor practices at Food Lion, one of the state's 
largest employers.  Food Lion subsequently had a number of shopping centers
pull the alternative weeklies from their locations, citing sexually explicit
advertising content.  Many observers, however, link that move to negative
stories about Food Lion.

Panelists who will discuss the issue include:

Mike Mozingo, communications director for Food Lion
Eric Bates, managing editor, Southern Exposure magazine
Gillian Floren, managing editor, The Independent
Adam Hochberg, reporter for UNC Public Radio
