Dorothy Butler Gilliam, the first Black woman reporter at The Washington Post, spoke on Oct. 13 at an online event co-hosted by SPJVa, the Robertson School of Media and Culture at VCU, and the BND Institute of Media and Culture.
For more than 40 years, I have worked in journalism – first as a newspaper reporter and editor and then as a teacher preparing the next generation of news professionals. As both a journalist and a journalism educator, I have carved out a specialty in using technology to find, report and tell powerful news stories. As a Fulbright scholar and newsroom trainer, I have worked with journalism students and practitioners in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America and across the United States.
