The next generation of journalists is facing major challenges in the years ahead — from organized disinformation campaigns to the public’s declining trust in the media.

On Episode 12 of “Informed and Engaged,” we’ll hear from Washington Post reporter Arelis R. Hernández, National Geographic senior editor Eli Chen and Francine Huff, Knight Chair in Journalism at Florida A&M University. They’ll explore how innovation and best practices can help ensure the next generation of journalists are equipped with the necessary skills and adaptability needed in this evolving field.

DISCOVERY
Road to resilience: adapting during COVID and beyond
with The Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s John Jarboe
Friday, Sept. 25, 1 p.m. ET | 10 a.m. ET

This year, we’ve learned that adaptation is critical to surviving — but it can also be the key to thriving. People and organizations who have the capacity to prepare for and adapt to changing circumstances are better equipped to make it through tough times, and are even able to create new opportunities for success. What is adaptive capacity, and how can we harness it to come back better and stronger? On Episode 12 of “DISCOVERY,” join us for a conversation with John Jarboe, founder and artistic director of The Bearded Ladies Cabaret in Philadelphia. We’ll hear how the Beards are building their adaptive capacity and finding ways to flourish.
