The Granite State News Collaborative (GSNC) is continuing to sharpen its focus on diversity in the Granite State by partnering with Organizational Ignition, LLC to engage in conversations that will foster a deeper understanding of the issues involved and the ways we can become a more perfect union.
To that end, GSNC is hosting four DEI Workshops for Newsroom Leaders beginning Sept. 29. James McKim, managing partner of Organizational Ignition and president of the Manchester, NH chapter of the NAACP, will lead each two-hour, virtual workshop.
These workshops are ideal for newsroom leadership including publishers, managing editors, editors and hiring managers among others. These workshops are free and open to members of The Granite State News Collaborative, NH Press Association and NENPA.
The workshop lineup is as follows:
- Recognizing Discrimination–Sept. 29, virtual, 12-2 p.m.
- How to have difficult conversations– Oct. 13, virtual, 12-2 p.m.
- Performance through Diversity–Nov. 10, virtual, 12- 2 p.m.
- DEI for managers–Dec. 8, virtual, 12-2 p.m.
Attendance at all of the workshops is not required, but is recommended. Registration is required as space is limited.
