TNG Presents: Addressing Anti-Black Racism in the News Industry

Next Wednesday, June 15 at 8:00 p.m. EDT, union members from around IAPE’s parent union, The NewsGuild-CWA will gather for “Was that the Reckoning?: Addressing anti-Black Racism in the News Industry.” This assembly will examine past and present anti-Black racism in the news media, and take a hard look at The Guild’s role in building an anti-racist future.

IAPE members are invited and encouraged to participate. Register here: Was that the Reckoning? Addressing anti-Black racism in the news industry.

Attendees will hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and NewsGuild leaders, including NewsGuild of New York president Susan DeCarava, Desiree Stennett of the Orlando Sentinel, and Erin Logan of the Los Angeles Times.

A panel addressing the role of The Guild in fighting anti-Blackness will be followed by breakout groups in which members set a path forward in further detail with measurable next steps to organize against anti-Black racism.

What has worked for members? More importantly, what structures and resources have fallen short or been missing? As unionized media workers, we have the opportunity to hold employers, ourselves and each other accountable.
