Session 1 (3:00pm - 4:00pm): A Conversation About Content and Coverage Featuring Ali Krieger (she/her), co-host of Futbol W and Katie Barnes (they/them), Writer An interactive panel where Ali and Katie discuss their personal opportunities and challenges contributing to ESPN content. The conversation will spotlight Ali’s decision to join ESPN this year, following a successful career as a professional and international soccer star, and take on a new challenge as a co-host for the new show - Futbol W. The dialogue will also highlight Katie’s nearly decade-long journey at ESPN as an award-winning journalist covering the intersection of sports and gender. An audience Q&A session will follow the initial discussion. The panel’s objective is to target a pair of NLGJA’s goals - supporting the next generation of LGBTQ+ leaders and strengthening the identity, respect and status of LGBTQ+ journalists.
Session 2 (4:15pm - 5:30pm): Working at ESPN – A Diverse and Inclusive Space Featuring Brett Edgerton, Gisela Leyva, Rachel Pearson, Elanna Rubenstein A conversation focused on how ESPN supports a diverse and inclusive workplace from the perspective of its behind-the-scenes contributors and what opportunities exist individually, and for ESPN as a whole, to continue growing and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
