The Battle is Never Over: Overcoming Adversity in the News Business

press release: Edgewood College is pleased to invite Greater Madison to a special and timely panel discussion. On The Edge, the Edgewood College student newspaper, hosts a discussion on the challenges facing those in the news business.

Five impressive and experienced women journalists, including an alumna of Edgewood College who now makes her living as an editor and writer in the international community, will share their ideas and answer your questions about the new challenges in print and digital journalism—and the dilemmas facing journalists in the wild and wooly media future.
