LIVE: Beyond the Newsroom - Non-Traditional Careers in Media and Journalism

Do you think a career in journalism starts and ends at the news desk? Think again. In this episode of The Sidebar by NYABJ, we explore exciting career paths in media and journalism that exist well beyond the traditional newsroom setting. From our panel in December 2025, then-NYABJ President BONITA SOSTRE hosted a trio of established professionals to uncover the reality of working in alternative media roles. She speaks with KIM HAAS, host and executive producer of PBS' "AfroLatina Travels with Kim Haas", Emmy-award winning producer and content strategist MICHAEL BARBER, and live events marketing production executive GIDEON MONCRIEFFE about their journey to forge their own paths using the skills they've developed in journalism.
