Date: January 26
Time: 2 p.m. Eastern
We're working in tough economic times, and newsrooms across America have downsized, some repeatedly. Newsroom diversity has stalled. In union newsrooms with strict seniority layoff clauses, people of color (and many younger employees of all races), often the most recently hired, are the first let go. Other newsrooms have seen diversity fall sharply as talented minorities flee for more stable fields. This webinar will explore how editors can try to retain diversity in an age of budget cuts, rebuild a diverse staff and work with the union on this important issue.
Registration is free for members, $50 for non-members. Participation is limited to 50 on a first-come, first-served basis.
