“The launch of The Race Beat, a new journalism network for people of colour in the UK, set up because we need to do more to change the social make-up of our media and support each other in the process.”
WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED?
“We’ll discuss everything from historic activism by black, asian and other ethnic minority journalists in the UK to racist reporting on Muslim communities. We’ll look at what’s missing from reporting on race in Britain and who is missing from newsdesks and editorial decision-making teams.”
The conversation will be led by broadcaster and columnist Gary Younge and political journalist Maya Goodfellow.
Come down for food and drinks from 7:30pm. Talk begins at 8:00pm.
