The National Association of Hispanic Journalists Los Angeles Chapter is hosting a Zoom panel discussion on Thursday, July 23, 2020, at 6 p.m., on mental health for journalists during the coronavirus pandemic. We will discuss how journalists are handling the pandemic’s devastating impact on the Latino community; the economic recession and financial crisis in many newsrooms; and the fight against racism. The goal is to allow for a discussion on how people are taking care of themselves during this difficult time and to share helpful self-care tips.

The National Association of Hispanic Journalists is the leading organization for Latinos in the media. We are dedicated to the recognition and professional advancement of Hispanics in the news industry, plus excellence in coverage of the entire Latino community.
