“Women in Media” at Cleveland State


From the Cleveland State University student paper, The Cauldron:

The Cleveland State University Chapter of Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) will be hosting a forum on Wednesday, Oct. 24 dedicated to “Women in Media.”

The event will be held in Drinko Hall from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature two talented Cleveland media women from separate spheres of influence.

Guest speakers will be The Plain Dealer’s Connie Schultz and WKYC Channel 3′s Kim Wheeler.

…

Cleveland State student and SPJ member Audrey McCrone will be moderating the panel discussion.

Content of the forum:

As the focus of this discussion is the aforementioned “Women in Media,” subjects will range in scope.

Topics addressed are included but not limited to what it means to be a female in what was once a highly male-dominated industry to the issues that directly affects women working in media.

The free-flowing nature of this discussion will allow the guest speakers the liberty to share stories and tell of their own joys, trials and tribulations of working in the realms of print and television.

Opening statements will kick off after a brief introduction by McCrone who will then give the floor to the guest speakers.

Near the end of the discussion SPJ has allotted 15 to 20 minutes of the forum for questions by those in attendance.

Hmm – “what it means to be a female in what was once a highly male-dominated industry”- oh yeah? Is that how the students or student advisor sees things in the present?

Interesting.
