Are you a rising newsroom leader who has overcome special challenges to get where you are? The NAHJ Adelante Academy returns for its second year with a focus on helping Hispanic journalists from all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives – including Afro-Latinos, DACA recipients, Indigenous Latinos, Latinos with Disabilities, Non-binary, Queer and Trans Latine individuals – to become the next generation of news executives.
Perhaps you’re a newsroom director or manager and want to hone your executive skills. Or a mid-level journalist who regularly takes on leadership roles and wants to land a title that allows you to shape coverage. If you have eight or more years of experience, this program may be for you.
The ¡PRESENTE! Leadership Program will help you develop your CEO mindset, build your network, be seen, and take charge. Hispanics are not a monolith, nor are our future leaders. We are stronger together, and together we will secure the future of news. To learn more, click here.
