Quartz offering seminar on biz journalism as a career

Financial news site Quartz is offering a one-hour panel next week on considering business journalism as a career.

The panel will be April 21 from noon to 1 p.m.

The panel features Quartz editor in chief Katherine Bell, Marker editor in chief Danielle Sacks and Reuters Nigeria bureau chief Alexis Akwagyiram.

“Hear from journalists across different stages in their career discuss what exactly business journalism is (and its purpose), what it is really like working in the field, and whether it provides a livable wage,” wrote Quartz. “This seminar is intended for journalism students, early-career reporters, and anyone curious about the purpose of business journalism and how it’s changing.”

The seminar is free. To register, go here.
