Event Details

Getting laid off is extremely difficult to deal with both personally and professionally, even if it's considered a "rite of passage" in media. During this session, hear from your peers who've been through it and come out the other side.

Joining us are Jayme Catsouphes, producer, editor, sound designer, and co-founder of the worker cooperative production company, Mumble Media, Lauren Paterson, multimedia journalist with a reporting career rooted in the Pacific Northwest and public media, and Chandra Turner, recruiter, career coach, and founder of boutique recruiting agency The Talent Fairy. AIR and PMJA will also share resources for coping with the loss and making your next moves.
