Are you worried about the growing backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in journalism? In a time when DEI programs are being cut and political pressures are mounting, especially from right-wing parties, powerful donors and media owners, how do we sustain fair, inclusive, and nuanced coverage? This informal meet-up is an opportunity to share experiences, exchange strategies, and explore new ideas to navigate these challenges. Together we will discuss strategies for maintaining editorial independence, and explore ways to ensure inclusive reporting. The event will start with a short input by Gemma Teres Arilla, Elena Kountidou and Shirish Kulkarni followed by open discussions and networking opportunities. We look forward to seeing you there! Complimentary food and drinks will be provided. Participation is free, but places are limited. Please RSVP by filling out this short form.
