Education is said to be the great equalizer — but not all education coverage is created equal. Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute and learn how to:
Move from authority-driven sourcing and framing to community-driven sourcing and framing
Avoid tokenism and stereotypes: Listen for and represent the truth between the extremes of success and despair in underrepresented communities
Cover dailies and in-depth stories with sensitivity, respect, and completeness
Registration is open for this discussion, which will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 20, 2021.
Jill Geisler, Bill Plante Chair in Leadership & Media Integrity at Loyola University Chicago and Freedom Forum Fellow in Women’s Leadership, on how to take the next steps toward management.
NBC News’ Lester Holt, whose seasoned career in journalism over four decades and role as anchor of “NBC Nightly News” has earned him the title as most-trusted anchor in America, will receive the National Press Club’s most acclaimed prize, the Fourth Estate Award, at a gala in his honor on Oct. 20, 2021 in Washington, D.C. Holt will be the 49th recipient of the Fourth Estate Award.
The 2021 Gala will occur in two parts: A virtual celebration that will include the presentation of the National Press Club’s press freedom and investigative journalism awards — which will be announced soon — and an in-person celebration of Lester Holt live at the National Press Club. The schedule and ticket information is available here, along with current safety protocols for in-person guests.
