IV. UPDATE FROM GLAAD (12:20 – 1:00PM ET)
GLAAD has learned a lot since its founding in 1985 about the media’s role in changing hearts and minds. GLAAD demonstrated not only media’s powerful influence—impacting how people treat others, how they vote, and their daily decisions—but their own authoritative potential to lead the conversation, reshape the narrative, and ultimately, change the culture. In this session, hear an update from GLAAD on the state of the industry and how we can continue to support and drive change.
Speaker:
Meghan Bartley, Director of Agencies, Brands, and Engagement – GLAAD Media Institute
