Event Details

Join us for a live taping of Global Journalist in honor of International Women's Day.


Throughout modern history female journalists have played prominent roles in newsrooms around the world, but they have often been restricted by customs and laws. What challenges do female journalists face around the world, and what role do they play at newspapers, magazines and on radio and TV? The panelists, who represent different regions of the planet, will discuss their experiences as women in journalism.

The event, which is co-sponsored by Workforce of Women, will take place in the Fred W. Smith Forum at the Reynolds Journalism Institute. Come join the conversation, and pose your own questions to panelists.

The conversation will be broadcast live on KBIA (91.3 FM), and a reception will follow the taping.

A special edition of the Global Journalist magazine featuring stories of female journalists from around the world will be released in conjunction with this event. Free copies will be available to all audience members.
