Resisting the Rollbacks: Transgender Rights in Chicago Journalism
June 5 at 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
In the face of escalating political attacks on transgender rights, journalists play a critical role in documenting policy changes, elevating trans voices, and holding power to account. This panel brings together reporters on the front lines of covering the Trump administration’s renewed assaults on trans communities—from healthcare restrictions to education rollbacks.
Panelists will share how they navigate challenges like misinformation, safety risks and editorial gatekeeping, while working to ensure trans people remain at the center of their reporting.
Join us for a timely conversation on the responsibilities and realities of covering trans issues in a time of backlash.
This event is hosted by The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists (NLGJA Chicago) and the Queer Media Association at Northwestern University. Panelists will be announced soon!
