Holding the Mic: Chicago at the Center

May 4 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm CDT
Holding the Mic: Chicago at the Center

Chicago is often at the center of the biggest national stories impacting Latino communities, yet the journalists best positioned to tell them remain underrepresented in newsrooms and leadership.

Join us on Monday, May 4, at the Field Foundation (downtown) for an essential conversation on this disconnect. From newsroom leaders to journalists on the frontlines, we are sounding off on what must change to ensure our voices are heard at every level of the industry.

When: Monday, May 4 | 5:30 PM Registration | 6:00 PM Program
Where: Field Foundation (200 W Madison St, 3rd Floor)
What: Panel discussion followed by a networking reception (7:15 PM)

Moderated by: Blanca Rios, ABC7 Producer/Writer & NAHJ Region 6 Director
Sally Ramirez – SVP of News, NBC Chicago
Michelle Gallardo – Reporter, ABC7 Chicago
Anthony Vazquez – Visual Journalist, Chicago Sun-Times
