Military Reporters and Editors has arranged discount room rates with two hotels that are a short walk from the Northwestern University student center and Medill School of Journalism where the conference will be held Oct. 26-28, 2006.
The number of discounted rooms is limited so attendees should book early to guarantee the lowest rate. Both hotels should have enough accommodations for convention goers, but the cheaper rooms are limited.
