When did you join PRSA and what is one of your favorite benefits that the organization provides?
I joined PRSA to help me better understand and stay aware of the latest trends and best practices in the PR/communications industry. The online resources and webinars have been great member benefits, along with the in-person networking events with peers.

Google Hangout
ENGAGING WITH VIRTUAL COMMUNITIES: BLACK TWITTER & BEYOND
During this Google Hangout, a group of media professionals will discuss how Black Twitter and other virtual communities are changing the face of media coverage. Google Hangout attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about how they can authentically connect and engage with these diverse groups on social platforms.
People of color and diverse audiences have long been left out of and misrepresented in mainstream media.
Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are providing diverse groups with the opportunity
to change biased narratives, speak up against injustices, share culture and experience beyond stereotypes and
organize to start social movements like #BlackLivesMatter, #NotAllMuslims, #SayHerName and #StopGamerGate.
During this Google Hangout, a group of media professionals will discuss how Black Twitter and other virtual
communities are changing the face of media coverage. Google Hangout attendees will have the opportunity to
ask questions about how they can authentically connect and engage with these diverse groups on social
platforms.
Google Hangout Participants:
1. Christina Coleman, Managing Editor, News One, @ChrissyCole
2. Jenny Yang, Comedian, Writer, Actor and Producer @JennyYangTV
