Newsrooms have increased their diversity efforts in recent years, still, there is a lot of room for improvement. As part of Media Literacy Week, join us for a panel discussion featuring journalists and leaders in the field talking about the challenging path of amplifying voices and perspectives of communities that have been historically underrepresented in media.
Monthly meeting of the Illinois media literacy coalition discussion on advancing media literacy in the state. This event is free and open to the public.
Come meet author Mark Kurlansky, author of “Big Lies: From Socrates to Plato,” and educators from across the globe and share your thoughts on big lies from history! “Educator Voice” is not your typical webinar. First, it’s a live Zoom conversation where teachers (a.k.a. the experts!) are also the guests alongside well, our guest! It’s recorded and highlights appear online. We ask that you turn on your screens since we are our proud of the work teachers do, and believe fully in the need of showing it off and sharing how smart, courageous and amazing educators and school staff are. Our guests come on because they WANT to hear directly from teachers/staff and what they are going through currently trying to help students learn and make the world a better place. All are welcome, but you get the boot if you are disrespectful. Mark Kulansky, journalist and best-selling author, is not to be missed. You will have fun and he will make you laugh and think.
