Wednesday, September 18, 2024
3:00 PM – 4:30 PM EDT
Location: Centennial Ballroom (LL1)
Welcome to the official opening of ONA24! We're excited to have you here! We'll kick off with opening remarks from ONA's CEO and Executive Director, LaSharah S. Bunting; ONA Board President, Charo Henríquez; ONA Founder, Rich Jaroslovsky; and ONA partners. Following that, a featured session conversation will follow:

As we head into the home stretch of a historic electoral campaign in the United States – what lessons have journalists learned from 2016 to 2024? And with the Democratic nominee being a woman of Black and South Asian descent and the Republican nominee making attacks on her identity – what's it like to cover this election as a woman of color? Further, what could editors and newsroom leaders stand to learn from women of color correspondents? Join us for this important and timely conversation.
