  • Multicultural Breakfast

    “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Behind the Headlines”

    Otis Sanford will moderate a panel of five industry professionals who will provide unique insight as to why it is important for the news we read, watch and hear to be diverse, equitable and inclusive.  Important questions will include:

    • How diverse are newsrooms across America and the Mid-South?
    • In what ways does diversity in newsrooms impact the stories we read, the news we watch, and the perspectives we hear?

    Join us to learn what people think about the news today and who is tackling this issue head-on to ensure the news is diverse, equitable, and inclusive – and truly represents our community.
