Chapter President Sarah Blazucki and national board member Jeff McMillan have teamed up with longtime TV critic and NLGJA presence Gail Shister for two panels, one of which will be open to chapter members in April.
They served Feb. 19 on a panel moderated by Shister at IvyQ, billed as the first conference of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students in the Ivy League, held at the University of Pennsylvania. Answering questions posed by Shister and the audience of students, they gave novice journalists advice on being out in the newsroom.
They're set to appear again April 16 at the conference of the American Copy Editors Society at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. The panel, "Sexual Disorientation: Getting LGBT Terminology Right," will discuss linguistic precision in news coverage of sexual minorities.
Blazucki is editor of the Philadelphia Gay News. McMillan is assistant east editor for The Associated Press.
For more information on how to attend the panel, send Jeff an e-mail.
