For the second consecutive year, journalism majors Chloe Franklin ’24 and Naomi Washington ’24 attended the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Convention & Career Fair, traveling in August to Birmingham, Alabama.

Nearly 4,000 Black journalists from across the country gathered at the annual event, including School of Communications alumni Eugene Daniel ’11, Crystal Moyer, MBA ’11, Zora Stephenson ’15 and Emmanuel Morgan ’19.

“The world of news and journalism continues to experience rapid change,” said Karen Lindsey, assistant professor of strategic communications, who accompanied Franklin and Washington. “As these students approach their senior year it is even more important to spend time learning from and networking with industry professional and alumni.”

Washington said she left both conferences “feeling inspired by the incredible journalists who share the same identity as me.” Franklin echoed those sentiments, explaining that she could truly see herself in the working professionals in attendance.

“It is nice that there is a conference for Black journalists where I can feel seen and valued,” Franklin added.
