A panel of Knoxville female journalists past and present will discuss women in journalism and the "glass ceiling" question. Is it still there? What does it mean to be a woman journalist and what are issues women face in today’s media world? Have times changed? Is more change still needed?

Moderator Cynthia Moxley, former newspaper journalist and now head of the successful Moxley Carmichael Public Relations firm, may also inquire about the 2008 presidential coverage of Clinton and Palin. Was the coverage fair? Was gender an issue in the coverage of this race?

Panelists include Georgiana Vines, political columnist for the Knoxville News Sentinel; Jean Ash, longtime reporter and anchor at WIVK/WNOX Radio; Jigsha Desai, online editor at the News Sentinel and Erin Donovan, reporter at WBIR-TV. Renowned East Tennessee Journalist Alberta Brewer will be honored posthumously.

Co-hosted by the UT Women’s Coordinating Council. FREE and open to the public.
