| Thursday | How do you disclose to your manager that you have a disability? Do you wait until after the job offer? How do you keep up with the demands of a 24-hour news cycle if you need special accommodations? What does this mean for your job growth? How do you manage an employee whose function can be unexpectedly limited? How can you live up to your reporting potential when your biology is thwarting you at seemingly every turn? This session will start with anecdotes of tackling these tough conversations with bosses and coworkers, sharing what hasn’t worked and what has worked…better. The session will then move to a conversation where participants with disabilities can discuss life in the news industry. Topics could include how people have communicated their needs or accommodations to their employer, experiences working with HR, trying to fit in with the rest of their team or just attempting to get coworkers to understand. The goal of this session is to connect folks with disabilities, share coping techniques, and allow those without disabilities to listen and learn how best to support their colleagues. | Jasmine Mithani, Hannah Birch | jazzmyth, hannahsbirch | disability-in-newsroom | 75 minutes | y | Minnesota | 2:30-3:45pm | thursday-pm-1 | Sick [journalist] theory: real talk about navigating disability in the newsroom | y |
