Why language matters.

Join our lively panel discussion of authors and journalists discussing why language really matters - especially when talking and writing about women.

What is the impact of misogynistic abuse of  female journalists, politicians and public figures online?  What about media coverage that diminishes women  - whether the subjects are in positions of power or victims of crime?  How do we deal with AI- written materials that default to sexist language   Do you feel you have the tools to use the best and most appropriate language when covering stories about different minority groups?

Queen of Words Susie Dent, of Countdown and 8 out of 10 Cats fame, will be asking the panellists for their experiences and advice.

Panellists include Joss Evans ( WiJ deputy chair & ITV News social team lead), Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff (award-winning editor and writer) and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (Political Commentator and author. )

So, what should we be saying? Join the debate.

Monday 4th at 7.00pm
