1️⃣ Resource of the week

Another free event: International Women’s Media Foundation, November 9

So last week’s webinar was a hit… And here’s another free event for you! (big shout out to Madison at IMWF for reaching out).

On November 9 at 5:30PM EST, the IWMF is hosting its virtual Courage in Journalism Awards in partnership with The Washington Post.

And, of course, it’s free to attend 😉

There’s some impressive journalists being recognised. These women are an inspiration. Victoria Roshchyna from Ukraine has been detained twice(!) for her reporting on Russia. Lynsey Addario’s has been reporting on the conflict in the Middle East.

These are some heavy hitters!
