BRING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF TO THE NEWSROOM

How do you stay true to yourself when starting out in journalism? Alicia Nails, director of Wayne State University's Journalism Institute for Media Diversity, answers that question with the help of two special guests in our upcoming webinar, "Bringing Your Authentic Self to the Newsroom." We invite the next generation of journalists to join us right before the Student Production Awards as we discuss how to preserve your culture as you become a professional, with natural hair and code switching among the topics.

And you may come away with more than just knowledge: those who participate in this online session will have several chances to win a gift card!

A CONVERSATiON ABOUT JOURNALiSM'S "GREAT REiMAGINATiON"

This is not a traditional journalism session. It is meant to be an open conversation about stress, burnout, the return to the office, and all that these many crises have wrought on those charged with keeping their community safe and informed. This is a facilitated discussion to generate ideas and pass along best practices for how the newsroom of 2022 and beyond should function. Attendees should consider how they would answer these questions before they arrive:

  • What one best thing should the newsroom keep doing?
  • How can we support each other as we go through yet another change: returning to the office?
  • How do we cover the continuing COVID conspiracies?
  • What best practices should we develop for covering the most controversial issues of the day — Politics, Abortion, Immigration, Gun rights, Social Justice?
