“Diversity at Work: Connecting Journalists to Jobs” is designed to bring together recruiters from the print, television and radio industry with journalists of color. Experienced journalists will also be on site to offer job seekers advice on news articles and broadcast tapes, and experts will provide insight on resume preparation.

Scheduled interviews will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and there will be an open interview session from 3 to 5 p.m.
“Diversity at Work” will also feature a keynote address by Richard Chacón, deputy foreign editor at The Boston Globe. In his ten years at the Globe, Mr. Chacón has covered Latin America, higher education and Boston City Hall. Prior to his role at the Globe, Mr. Chacón wrote editorials for Newsday and was deputy media director for the 1992 Democratic National Convention.
