Join veteran editors Friday for conversation on leading resilient newsrooms through pandemic, uncertainty
The National Press Club Journalism Institute is hosting a conversation Friday with two veteran editors who will share their perspectives on leading newsrooms through unprecedented challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Robyn Tomlin, southeast regional editor for McClatchy and president and editor of The (Raleigh) News & Observer and The (Durham) Herald-Sun, and Mike Wilson, editor of The Dallas Morning News, will discuss how to manage the uncertainties journalists face and the ambitions that inspire us. The conversation will be moderated by Jill Geisler, Bill Plante Chair in Leadership & Media Integrity and Loyola University Chicago Freedom Forum Fellow in Women’s Leadership.
The conversation will take place from 11:30 a.m. to noon Friday, April 24, on Zoom and will include a Q&A with participants. Registration is open.
