National headlines say it all: Canceled or paused federal funding. Vanishing research and data. Slowed support for vital services. The stripping of fundamental civil rights. The LGBTQ+ community is under attack in actions being taken by local governments, businesses, Congress, and the White House.
At stake are the daily lives of millions of individuals who live, work, and play in communities across the country, some with limited access to reliable local news media. So, how can journalists bridge the gap between policy and local impact in meaningful ways for their audiences?
Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute during Pride Month for a free, timely panel discussion on localizing Pride for communities nationwide.

In this session, we’ll explore practical, forward-thinking ways media organizations and businesses can integrate AI into their workflows — from content tagging and personalization to image generation, data analysis, automation, and more. We’ll share real-world use cases, tools to consider, and how to think strategically about AI adoption that goes deeper than chat.
