When: Saturday, October 5, 2024
The Raleigh Durham Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ-RDU) hosted a highly successful “Making News” Media Access Workshop on October 5th. This interactive event brought together non-profit organizations, small businesses, and student leaders for a hands-on experience in media engagement.
