The convention is the largest journalism convention in the world, expected to draw over 10,000 reporters, editors, and other media professionals. The UNITY ’08 convention will be held in Chicago, IL.
UNITY: Journalists of Color, Inc., the convener of UNITY ‘08, traces its origins to 1986. The four alliance associations work as a force for positive change to advance the presence, growth and leadership of journalists of color in the global news industry.
