Instagram post 2184187100262115933_1499062485 We’re joining forces with @thisislsr and @leedsstudenttelevision on Wednesday 4th December! 📰📺🎤 Link in our bio for the event details.

The free event will feature four panels from a variety of industry experts and alumni with discussions on gender, race, sexuality and disability and how this has affected the panellists’ experience in the media. 
These will take place consecutively from 11am-3pm. Following this, we will host three practical workshops on print media, radio and television so that members can learn skills to inspire them to get involved while at University and in the future. 
No matter your race, gender, sexuality or ability, it's important to understand the experiences of others around you. 💙💜💚 #diversity #media #journalismstudent #studentradio #studenttv #leedsuniversity
