Packing for Chicago ... looking forward to this important discussion of journalism jobs and The Institute for Independent Journalists layoffs survey

While the conversation surrounding #journalismjobs and the future of this field is an important one, it’s also challenging and deeply personal. Last night, we were honored to host alongside Field Foundation journalists and policymakers to discuss where we go from here.
