UK-based The Bureau of Investigative Journalism will host a webinar to discuss the realities of racism in newsrooms, the negative impact racism has on journalism, and how outdated news values and approaches create and sustain racism. They’ll explore concrete actions that journalists and organisations can take to help drive anti-racism work in our own newsrooms and wider society, and build a roadmap to change.

Speakers: Martin Reynolds, co-executive director, Maynard Institute, Hannah Ajala, founder of We Are Black Journos and Marverine Cole, freelance journalist formerly at BBC News.
