A free webinar at 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 3 will feature an in-depth discussion of how journalism can remain relevant and high-quality in an increasingly diverse society, as covered in the new book Reckoning: Journalism's Limits and Possibilities. From the publisher's website: "The book is about how journalists know what they know, who gets to decide what good journalism is, and how we know when it’s done right."
Journalists could easily ignore criticism of sexist or racist coverage in the past because most journalists were white males and there were few ways for women or people of color to offer differing narratives, authors Candis Callison and Mary Lynn Young argue. But the rise of social media and a more egalitarian society has brought more pushback against structural problems in journalism; journalists can use that criticism as a diagnostic tool, they write.
Callison and Young, along with Navajo Times reporter Donovan Quintero, will discuss how journalists and educators can change the culture of journalism and journalism education for the better in today's diverse society. The moderator will be Dale Willman, who leads the new Resilience Media Project at the Earth Institute of Columbia University.
The Earth Institute and the Society of Environmental Journalists are co-sponsoring the discussion. Click here for more information or to register.
