New Frontier of Journalism for Women

Journalism is undergoing a sea change — and platforms like TikTok, Substack, and podcasting are bringing a new generation of innovators to its forefront.

Join three rising stars taking journalism into bold new terrain — Vitus “V” Spehar, Niala Boodhoo, and Emma Hinchliffe — with leading Democratic political strategist and host of upcoming podcast, Pivot, Emily Tisch Sussman, for a conversation on how social media is changing the way we get the news. Vitus “V” Spehar has 1.6 million followers on TikTok, with a matter-of-fact delivery and a mindful approach to tough subjects; Niala Boodhoo is the host of the podcast Axios Today, reporting on politics and the economy; Emma Hinchliffe is the head of the women-focused daily newsletter from Fortune, “The Broadsheet”; and all are a part of a new media landscape that is changing the face of journalism. To what extent are these new mediums additive to our democracy and the ability of a free press to remain accessible, transparent, and trustworthy? Hear them in this vital roundtable discussion on their varied approaches to the news, the increasingly prominent roles women are playing in the field, and where journalism is going in the next decade.
