Description:
Peaceful and violent protests erupted in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, and across the nation, in the days following the death of George Floyd on May 25. Local, national and international journalists have been providing live coverage of the protests. Despite being exempt from enforced curfews, reporters faced arrest, detention and physical assault by Minneapolis Police, Minnesota State Patrol troopers and the National Guard. The Hubbard School at The University of Minnesota is hosting free Town Hall events to educate the public on the roles and responsibilities of media professionals during this time.
On Friday, June 5 at 12 p.m., The Hubbard School, in sponsorship with Minnesota PRSA, will be hosting Ethical Public Relations, Press Conferences, and Public Engagement During Crisis. The hour-long free Town Hall will discuss what roles press conferences and public relations play during a crisis. Register to attend.
The School plans to continue to host panels and educational opportunities for engagement as long as we have protests in the streets and a community with needs to serve. Thank you to our panelists for offering to speak on the subject and educate our community.
