How We Report on Police

Last summer, historic protests erupted across the country in response to anti-Black police violence. And in Chicago, official police narratives often conflicted with what actually occurred on the ground.

In this FREE panel moderated by Lakeidra Chavis from The Trace, we’ll have hard conversations about our field’s reliance on law enforcement as sources. Our panelists will examine the roles of crime and accountability reporting within journalism and share how they dig for the truth while on deadline.

This virtual event will be hosted on Zoom and livestreamed/recorded to the Chicago Headline Club Facebook page.
