Join Boston-area journalists for its second-annual UNIFY Career Summit, a workshop for college students from historically marginalized backgrounds seeking work in the journalism field. Together, we will empower these aspiring journalists seeking to build careers in news as they hear from recruiters and get one-on-one advice from professional journalists.
