Join the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) Convention, Boldly Moving Forward. Proudly Looking Back, on Thursday, August 26, 2021, at 8:00pm EDT for a conversation on stories about mental health that perpetuate stereotypes and stigma when covered poorly. 

The Pulitzer Center-organized panel will answer questions including what should journalists keep in mind when covering a story that involves mental health?

Meet the journalists who share their experiences of reporting on the mental health of Hong Kong protesters, international Korean adoptees, and Indigenous articulations of depression in Pakistan. The panel will be moderated by Boyoung Lim, senior editor at the Pulitzer Center.
