Discovery (WBD) has announced its programming plans for this year’s journalism conferences for the Asian Americans Journalism Association (AAJA), National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) and the Association of LGBTQ Journalists (NLGJA).The company has set a series of panels, screenings and workshops via WBD brands including CNN, HBO, OWN, Turner Sports and Bleacher Report with the mission of “helping amplify unique voices, supporting creatives of color and advancing representation in media and news.”The first in-person programming is planned for the AAJA conference, which began July 24 in Los Angeles and runs through July 28, as CNN Worldwide returns for the 10th anniversary of its trademark reporter and producer journalism workshops.
Created by Ramón Escobar, CNN Worldwide’s SVP of talent recruitment and development, the workshops tests journalists’ knowledge and help them refine their skills.
The competitive program is small cohort-sized so participants can work directly with on-air coaches, CNN anchors and correspondents and editorial leaders — including “Weekend New Day” co-anchor Boris Sanchez and correspondents Camila Bernal, Adrienne Broaddus, Natasha Chen, Omar Jimenez, Polo Sandoval, Rahel Solomon and Selina Wang — to experience real-time examples of writing, producing and reporting the news.
The reporter and producer journalism workshop will also be featured at the joint NABJ and NAHJ annual conference, held Aug. 3-7 in Las Vegas, Nev.
