The Young & the Restless: Keeping Hope & Journalism Alive

The NABJ Reinvention Committee and Digital Journalism Task Force will host a series of three BlogTalkRadio shows designed to help members of the National Association of Black Journalists in different phases in their career make the adjustment if the worst happens – losing your job. This half-hour workshop on April 15 at noon is being moderated by Jackie Jones of Jones Coaching. It targets younger/early stage journalists struggling to find their first job or get a new job after getting laid off. Jones will chat with Vanessa C. Deggins, a reporter / multimedia producer with The American Press Newspaper, about being laid off and finding that next opportunity. The session will also offer basic tips and tools on networking and job search, and we’ll leave time for questions.
