Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone expresses their views with power and impact. Some voices rise and echo, and others never penetrate the noise that surrounds us. Having an important platform — like the New York Times or L.A. Times — can amplify perspectives. In this program from the National Press Club Journalism Institute, L.A. Times editorial page editor Sewell Chan, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones, New York Times Magazine editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, and L.A. Times columnist Erika Smith will describe:
- How to make yourself heard
- How to work with an editor or writer to hone a point of view
- How to pitch (& catch) a column or opinion piece
The first part of this program will be a conversation among the panelists, and the second part of the program will be a Q&A with participants.
Registration is open now for this program, which will be held on July 29 from 11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m. ET.
The National Press Club Journalism Institute has added weekly programming, a daily newsletter, a daily writing group, and other support for journalists since March, and has waived fees for everything due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you value what you’ve been learning from the Institute during this time, please consider a donation of $5, $10, or whatever you can contribute.
