    NENPA U: Solidarity Journalism - Reporting for Social Justice Beyond Taking Sides

    What does it mean for journalism to truly stand with the communities it serves? Join NENPA University and Dr. Anita Varma, a leading voice in ethical journalism and faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin, for a thought-provoking session on Solidarity Journalism — an approach that prioritizes the lived experiences of marginalized communities in the service of basic dignity.

    In this webinar, Dr. Varma will share practical frameworks for journalists and editors to distinguish solidarity for basic dignity from partisanship, prioritize truth over both-sidesism, and build credibility through inclusive, justice-driven coverage. Learn how solidarity journalism can strengthen journalism’s pursuit of truth, deepen audience connection, and uphold the core mission of journalism to serve the public in an era of growing polarization and disinformation.

    Perfect for reporters, editors, and newsroom leaders committed to meaningful community engagement and more equitable journalism.
