PRSA Georgia: Annual Media Panel: Journalists in Georgia Making An Impact With Relevant Story Telling

At many points during this summer, all eyes have been on Georgia. Any many questions have emerged, including: What is it really like from the frontlines as history is being made? How are journalists risking everything, to tell the truth, and share important stories? Does diversity in a newsroom help organizations cover racial injustice without bias? And how does what’s happening here in our state influence the response from the rest of the U.S.?

Join PRSA Georgia and for our special annual media panel featuring Black journalists offering a candid, informative, and dynamic discussion. Together, we will move beyond the standard media pitch tips and travel into newsrooms and on the streets with journalists sharing their stories.

• How does lived experience impact storytelling?
• How can PR professionals become allies and relevant support sources to advance the cultural divide?
• How can we share our unique perspective to shape the future for our professions and future generations?

Join us for a conversation with PR professionals and journalists, moderated by Chaundra Luckett, CMO of CHRIS 180, about the role we all play at this inflection point moment in history.

* Virtual sessions are available on-demand 24-48 hours after the event for 30-days; register today to receive the recorded session if you’re not available to join live.
