Register for INN's Racial Equity in Journalism Forum Sept. 22

Editor’s note: The New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism, which publishes InDepthNH.org, is a member of the Institute for Nonprofit News and founder Nancy West serves on INN’s board of directors. This virtual event is separate from the local one West is planning on implicit bias in New Hampshire, which is still being planned. The INN forum is definitely worth all of our time and I hope you will register and join me. — Nancy West

Part two of our virtual spin on the largest gathering of people interested in nonprofit news media and public service journalism

INN at Home is back! When COVID-19 struck, our original conference, INN at Home, was split into two parts: part one, focused on sustainability (view archived videos) and part two, on racial equity in journalism and how nonprofit news organizations can meet the moment. Sessions will run from approximately 1 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. EDT each day via Zoom, with special pre-conference sessions from our sponsors. Please see the schedule, below, noting that speakers are subject to change.

Pre-Conference Social Hour

During this hour, we’ll have a set of peer-led sessions for discussion, activities, and hobbies with a small group of fellow participants. The sessions will cover a mix of topics about life at work and outside of it, and can happen in different formats, some conversational, some active, some more just listening. If you might be interested in leading one of these sessions, email ryan@opennews.org, who is helping with logistics for this version of INN at Home.

1 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. ET
