On Oct. 26, the Los Angeles chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists held its inaugural Media Summit & Career Fair at the University of Southern California’s School of Journalism. SAG-AFTRA was an event sponsor, and many Los Angeles-based broadcast members shared their firsthand experiences in the broadcast industry. In addition, many union broadcast members participated on panels throughout the day, including Christine Devine, Marc Brown, Beverly White, Toni Guinyard, Michael Brownless, Pat Harvey, Chris Schauble, Randy Mac and Sam Sanders. Earlier in the month, SAG-AFTRA presented its American Scene Awards' Belva Davis News & Broadcast Award to NPR, producers of Sanders' It’s Been a Minute with Sam Sanders.
The event was well received, with more than 400 students and journalists learning about print and digital journalism, as well as the nuances involved with on-air reporting.
