The current economic forces — good and bad — aren’t being felt evenly by everyone. In this session, panelists will discuss their approaches to telling rich stories about how the economy is playing out for various ethnic communities in the United States. Expect to learn some data tricks and get some insights into the ways reporters immerse themselves in community-based reporting.

This panel is in partnership with AAJA-NY.
