SUMMARY:Behind the Headlines
DESCRIPTION:Five Black journalists in DC share true personal stories about the work\, pressure\, and purpose behind the headlines. \n\n\n\n\nWe see the headlines. We read the bylines. But what about the stories behind them?\nOn Thursday\, April 16\, five Black journalists in DC take the stage with Story District to share true personal stories from inside the work of reporting the news. \nThese are not panel remarks or industry talking points. These are personal stories about what happens behind the scenes: the pressure\, the moments that stay with you\, the fight to be heard\, and what it takes to keep telling the truth when the stakes are high. \nThanks to funding from HumanitiesDC\, this special Story District show brings audiences closer to the people behind the news and the lived experiences that shape their reporting. \nWhat this show is about\nBlack journalists have long been on the frontlines of telling stories that shape communities\, reveal what others miss\, and hold power accountable. \nAt the same time\, many of these voices are being pushed out of major outlets\, creating real gaps in the coverage and perspective our communities rely on. \nThis show is a chance to hear directly from the people doing that work. Not just what they report\, but what they witness\, what they carry\, and what stays with them after the story is filed. \nWhat to expect\n\nFive live\, true personal stories from Black journalists in DC\nHonest reflections from inside the newsroom and out in the field\nA deeper look at the human side of journalism\nA night of perspective\, connection\, and unforgettable storytelling\n\nWho this is for\nThis event is for anyone who cares about journalism\, storytelling\, media\, DC\, and the voices shaping how stories get told. Come if you want a deeper understanding of the people behind the news and the realities they navigate to keep the public informed. \nEvent details\nDate: Thursday\, April 16\, 2026\nLocation: Penn Social\, 801 E Street NW\nDoors: 6:30 PM\nShow: 7:30 PM\nAge requirement: 21+ with valid ID required at the door \nAccessibility: Penn Social is wheelchair accessible\, and ASL interpretation will be available.
