Women and Journalists

Join us for a two‑part event designed to help students strengthen their professional presence and learn directly from women working across today’s journalism landscape.

We’ll start with a LinkedIn Workshop focused on practical ways to improve your profile, highlight your work, and use the platform to build meaningful professional connections.

After the workshop, stay for a panel discussion with women journalists from a range of beats and backgrounds. They’ll talk about their routes into the industry, the realities of newsroom work, and the skills that matter most when starting out.

• Clear guidance on how to improve your LinkedIn profile
• Tips for professional networking on digital platforms
• A panel discussion featuring women working in different areas of journalism
• Insight into career paths, current industry practices, and entry points
• A chance to ask questions and join the conversation
• Space for informal networking with fellow students and guests

This event is ideal for students exploring journalism and media careers, looking to develop their online presence, and interested in hearing from professionals working across the field today.
