Join Martin G. Reynolds with the Maynard Institute for Journalism Education for a practical discussion on how to identify your own unconscious bias and how that can show up in story framing, social networks and sourcing.
In this 90 minute session, which will be facilitated by the Maynard Institute‘s Co-executive director, Martin G. Reynolds, attendees will get an overview of the institute’s trademarked Fault Lines® framework, which reveals how we all see the world through the prism of race, class, gender, generation, geography, sexual orientation and other areas of self-categorization, such as religion, politics and social affiliations. How we align across these fault lines _ and how they intersect _ shape our biases and influence our perceptions. Those perceptions can lead to different forms of bias, such as unconscious, implicit and performance, and shape our approach to coverage, community engagement and working relationships. This session will provide a framework that can be a protection against one’s own biases and tool to develop coverage that is more nuanced and inclusive.
Free for members, students, and interns $20 non-member fee. Registration for this virtual event is required.
