Philly Voices: A Convening of Media Professionals

On April 30th the Maynard Institute for Journalism Education, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists, held the second “Philly Voices” conversation and workshop, this time with key leaders of the Philadelphia-area media, philanthropic and academic communities.

The goal of this gathering was to develop strategies and partnerships to help reframe the coverage of African-American men and boys, which often focuses disproportionately on stories about crime and violence.
