A frank conversation about burnout

Let’s face it, we’re all fried.

It seems everyone in our industry is talking about burnout, about bone-deep exhaustion and stress and anxiety so acute that journalists are leaving the business or contemplating doing so.

So, we are going to tackle the question of what burnout looks like, its consequences and what we need to do -- together as management and staff, as boomers and millennials -- to address it.

The discussion, moderated by COLab’s Tina Griego, will feature the stellar panel of Dr. Marc Moss, a Denver MD whose work on burnout and resilience has received national recognition, Selyn Hong, NPR’s director of Employee & Labor Relations and Investigations, Linda Shapley, managing editor at ColoradoPolitics.com, and Elizabeth Hernandez, Denver Post reporter.

There are no easy answers here, but we all know the status quo isn’t cutting it.

Date: Thursday, July 22

Time: 6:30 p.m. mixer. Panel from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Location: Denver Press Club, 1330 Glenarm Place, Denver, CO 80204

The discussion also will be streamed live and registrants will receive a Zoom link as soon as we have one.
