Join veteran child welfare reporter Karen de Sá in a conversation about telling youth stories and the impact they can, and often do, have. De Sá will share backstories from her reporting journeys, positive outcomes, and difficulties that have arisen covering issues affecting vulnerable and traumatized populations. She will share thoughts on how journalists can be more sensitive to the young people whose stories they tell, and the challenges working with advocates and attorneys on confidential cases. Please bring your questions and thoughts on media coverage of child and family issues, as well as ideas about what stories you'd like told, or improved upon. This session will explore ethical dilemmas, inspirational journeys, and how we can all work more thoughtfully and respectfully in the child welfare field.
