Description

Who tells our stories and who decides how that story is told?

Join us during Women’s History Month for a panel discussion with five Asian American journalists, who will talk about their own stories as professionals as well as how they choose which stories to present. Moderated by Lilly Wei, panelists will discuss the challenges of representation in media coverage and share advice on pursuing a career in journalism. The panel discussion will feature Dawn Chan, Jennifer Kho, Diep Tran, and Junko Tsunashima and will be followed by a 20-minute question and answer session.

The panel is free and open to the public. RSVP is encouraged to attend.
