Shifting Narratives for Liberation: A Racial Justice Intensive for Journalists and Media-Makers
Calling all movement media makers, journalists of conscience, radical storytellers, and reporters. Are you ready to shift toxic narratives around white supremacy, racial justice, and (im)migration? Are you doing that work already, and looking to build a community of practice with other reporters in the same boat? Join Press On and Migrant Roots Media for an intensive Zoom workshop: Shifting Narratives for Liberation.
Friday April 23: 5-6:30 PM CST // 6-7:30 PM EST and Saturday April 24: 10 AM-3 PM CST // 11 AM-4 PM EST, with a one-hour lunch break.
In this dynamic online gathering, participants will learn what narrative shifting is and how to center root causes in the stories we tell; build community and connection with other journalists and media-makers working for liberation; and leave with a concrete tool for analyzing the narrative framing in their own stories. Facilitators will include Roxana Bendezú, Lewis Raven Wallace, Tina Vásquez, and Ko Bragg.
This gathering is sliding-scale from $150 to $0, and stipends are available for food and childcare to make it possible to attend. We prioritize southerners, Black people, Indigenous people, people of color, disabled people, queer and trans people, working class and low-income people and (im)migrants.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
Press On is a Southern media collective that catalyzes change and advances justice through the practice of movement journalism.
We are journalists, storytellers, and organizers rooted in, and practicing solidarity with, oppressed communities that birth social movements. We are based in the South, and we strive to uphold Southern traditions of storytelling that have long resisted the systems of extraction, exploitation, and colonization that have defined mainstream journalism.
By providing a diverse set of resources including trainings, fellowships and opportunities for network-building, Press On aims to help journalists and storytellers produce reporting that’s driven by communities that are building power to create transformative social change.
#MovementJournalism
Migrant Roots Media (MRM) is a digital platform that amplifies the voices of (im)migrants, children of migrants, and those struggling to stay and thrive in their homelands to unearth the root causes of global migration.
We strategically position intersectional voices so they can aid in advancing narratives and socio-political analyses concerning migration and other social issues.
Through investigative and first-person articles, media workshops, and campus collaborations, we work to reframe discourses around migration and human mobility.
