Top editors to headline panel on newsroom diversity, Friday 2 p.m.
Newsrooms have looked hard at the diversity of their teams, leadership, and coverage in the last year, and many say they’re now devoting consistent attention to hiring more journalists of color, investing in them, and supporting them in helping shift the stories that are told.
What has really changed in newsrooms and what challenges remain? Register now to join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for an hour-long virtual program at 2 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 25, to learn what progress has brought and what it has cost. We’ll hear from newsroom leaders whose roles are at the center of this work.
The hour is expected to feature insights from:
- Leona Allen, Dallas Morning News deputy publisher and vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion
- Joseph Serna, L.A. Times deputy editor of culture and talent
- Mizell Stewart III, Gannett /USA Today Network vice president of news performance, talent and partnerships
- Krissah Thompson, Washington Post managing editor
Stewart is slated to moderate the panel which expects to examine suggestions and questions for journalists and newsrooms across the country as they consider what’s next for the communities they hope to serve.
