The 2019 Illuminate Fireside Chat at hClubLA brought together Van Lathan and Jarrett Hill for a powerful conversation on what it means to be a Black American journalist in today's polarized media landscape. With the press labeled as a "threat" by former President Trump, Lathan and Hill explored the heightened responsibility of Black journalists in delivering nuanced, accurate, and truth-telling coverage. Van Lathan, known for his viral confrontation with Kanye West, discussed the critical role of Black voices in shaping the narrative, while Jarrett Hill, NABJ Vice President, highlighted the stakes for the African-American community. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone invested in the future of media and representation. Share and support Black journalists on the front lines.
