Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for an online event with Yelena Khanga and Ann M. Simmons on Black journalists in Russia and Eurasia.

From political unrest in Russia and Belarus to the recent conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, journalists in Russia and Eurasia are not at a loss for stories to report on. But the stories of journalists behind this reporting often goes untold. As part of the Kennan Institute’s Black History Month programming, journalists Yelena Khanga and Ann Simmons will discuss their experiences of being black female journalists in the region, the challenges and opportunities they face and the future of journalism for people of color who cover these regions.

RSVP is requested; information can be found at this link.

Speakers:

Yelena Khanga, journalist; author; talk show host

Ann M. Simmons, journalist; Moscow bureau chief, The Wall Street Journal
