A Moment of Reckoning: How Journalism Can Begin to Dismantle Its Systems of Racism

Knight Foundation

Monday, June 15, 2020 - 6:00pm

The inaugural episode of Informed & Engaged, a new weekly Knight show on the ideas and solutions impacting the media landscape, kicks off with a conversation that meets the moment but remains long overdue.

This program will take a hard look at journalism and how it has been complicit in upholding systemic racism. Martin Reynolds, co-executive director of the Maynard Institute, will talk with S. Mitra Kalita, the senior vice president of news, opinion and programming at CNN Digital, and Sara Lomax-Reese, president and CEO of WURD Radio, one of the few black-owned talk radio stations in the country.
