Event Details

From police shootings of unarmed Black people, to the recent rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans, to debates over the ongoing crisis at the U.S. border—stories about race and race relations have dominated recent headlines. Join us Monday, May 10 for an open and honest discussion about how journalists approach these difficult issues, how newsroom diversity impacts coverage of race and what role the media should play in creating more equitable, inclusive communities.
