Join us for an engaging panel discussion on the shifting landscape of journalism in DC. Our panelists will explore the current state of journalism nationally and in DC and the field’s sustainability. The panelists are Amy L. Kovac-Ashley, the Executive Director of Tiny News Collective; Mitch Ryals, the Managing Editor of Washington City Paper; and Denise Rolark-Barnes, the Publisher of the Washington Informer. Olive Vassell, a Journalist and Associate Professor of Digital Media at the University of the District of Columbia, will moderate the discussion.

This closing event will also celebrate our Community Journalists who have recently completed HumanitiesDC’s 14-week journalism program. Led by a team of professional local journalists, this free program is designed to equip DC residents with the knowledge, skills, and mentorship to tell the stories that matter most to them and their communities.
