What’s the real news in Chicago’s African-American community? A public dialogue, Nov. 8


Today’s paper says hunger in parts of the South Side are the city’s worst. And there are marches around the city about jobs and justice. And I see the campaigning for the Second Congressional District, Jesse Jackson Jr.’s district, is heating up.

Is this the news that  matters to Chicago’s African-American community? What else? What’s really important?

Let’s talk about this and let’s do it  Nov. 8th at a community meeting between the African-American press, community groups and activists.

Here are the details. I hope you’ll be there.

African-American Media Panel Discussion – FREE

Tuesday, November 8 from 6pm to 8pm

The Little Black Pearl

1060 East 47th Street
Chicago, IL 60653-3600

How does the African-American news media cover its community? What more can African-American NGOs, activists and community groups need to get their story told?

 

Join us for a community dialogue between the African-American news media and community.

Learn how you, your nonprofit or community group can be a resource to these local media outlets and what kinds of stories they are looking for.

WBEZ reporter Natalie Moore and its South Side Bureau Chief will moderate the discussion between journalists and the community. Glenn Reedus, editor of the Chicago Crusader, and Aminah Hana, executive director of the Blogging While Brown project will be some of those on the panel.

Refreshments and snacks will be served.

Register for this FREE event today!

The Society of Professional Journalists and Chicago Headline Club are sponsoring this event.
