National Geographic Documentary Films presents the critically acclaimed five-part documentary series from Participant and Kartemquin Films, CITY SO REAL, the fascinating and complex portrait of contemporary Chicago from twice Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Steve James (“America to Me,” “Hoop Dreams”) and longtime producing partner Zak Piper (“Life Itself,” “The Interrupters”).
CITY SO REAL delivers a deep, multifaceted look into the soul of a quintessentially American city, set against the backdrop of its history-making 2019 mayoral election. NatGeo is set to air CITY SO REAL in an unprecedented one-night, five-hour, commercial-free event on Thursday, October 29 beginning at 7 PM ET/PT, with all five episodes then to be available on Hulu the following day — Friday, October 30.
NABJ-Chicago is among a select group of four CHICAGO organizations invited to a VIRTUAL OCTOBER 25 PREMIERE — an event featuring celebrity artists and TV personalities, musical performances, and a panel discussion with Chicagoans portrayed in the film. CITY SO REAL includes footage of NABJ-CHICAGO’s exclusive Jan. 17, 2019 mayoral forum held at the Chicago Sun-Times. One of the only forums featuring nearly all of the 14 candidates who ran in the historic election, James was granted access by NABJ-CHICAGO for his documentary.

NABJ-CHICAGO SEPTEMBER FORUM: “Why the U.S. Census Counts: Get What’s Yours”
About the 2020 U.S. Census
The 2020 accounting of the U.S. population currently underway will ensure fair federal funding for communities throughout this nation, and fair representation in Congress in the next decade. We’ve seen attempts to dismantle requirements of this Constitutionally mandated counting of every single individual in each state, the latest effort reducing by a whole month this critical data collection process that impacts every state’s Electoral College votes.
Join us as political stakeholders battling to restore integrity to the Census discuss their own efforts and what we as citizens can do.

Summer of Extremes: Racism, Health Inequity and Heat
2020-06-23 19:00 - 2020-06-25 20:30
Journalists are invited to dissect lessons on racism and health inequity learned from Chicago’s 1995 heatwave replayed during the pandemic.

About this Event

Q: What do Chicago’s 1995 heat wave and the COVID-19 pandemic have in common?
A: The heat wave-death map and the COVID-19-death map are ALMOST IDENTICAL.
It takes extreme crises to push us to confront the systemic roots of racism. No doubt, journalists are on the front lines, translating data and drama into compelling reporting.
In 1995, Chicago was hit by one of the deadliest heat waves in U.S. history, disproportionately killing 739 poor and elderly, mostly people of color. Now history repeats itself. The coronavirus pandemic is exposing the same deadly inequities.
Marking the 25th anniversary of the devastating heat wave, summer 2020 is predicted to be one of the hottest on record—and against the additional public health crisis of police brutality—one of the most revolutionary.
How will journalists reframe and report on this collision of crises?

SCHEDULE
Your registration is good for one, two or all of the three days.
If you have any questions you know you’d like panelists to address, email the organizers at info.summerofextremes@gmail.com.
DAY 1 – TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2020 7-8:30 PM, CST
“It’s All The Same Map”
Chicago’s heat-death map from 1995 is almost identical to Chicago’s COVID-19-death map — both rooted in the economics and health inequities plaguing Chicago’s communities of color. Such structural inequities are also at the root of police brutality, as seen recently in the killing of George Floyd. What is the role of the journalist in the deeper storytelling behind these crises?
DAY 2 – WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2020, 7-8:30 PM, CST
“Mental Health & Reporting on Trauma”
Journalists, and journalists of color, in particular, can struggle to articulate their own trauma experienced while covering crises. Bodies piling up during the heat wave 25 years ago was such a story. Bodies piling up from COVID-19 in the U.S. since January has been such a story. Covering the killing of George Floyd, the subsequent protests and fallout, is also such a story. Let’s talk about it, and the impact.
DAY 3 – THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2020, 7-8:30 PM CST
“The Now And The Future: Reimagining Health Equity & Heat Emergency Planning”
As heat and COVID-19 collide this summer with the public health crisis of police brutality — physical distancing still encouraged — how does the city plan to keep people safe? With issues of environment, public space and equity of infrastructure involved, we look at the role of anchor community groups in South Side and West Side neighborhoods as first-responders on health equity and human heat emergency plans.

NABJ-Chicago Annual Meeting - “The George Floyd Conversation”
2020-06-17 18:00 - 20:00
NABJ-Chicago will dedicate its Annual Meeting on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, to “The George Floyd Conversation” amongst its members.
The event, to be held 6-8 PM, via Zoom, is the chapter’s first General Membership Meeting since going on hiatus in March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NABJCC resumed business in May, planning its first event, a contribution to NABJ’s Black Male Media Project held annually nationwide on June 6, just as the horrific killing of Floyd at the knee of a Minneapolis police officer and its turbulent aftermath unfolded.
Amidst the protests against police brutality, ensuing riots and renewed spotlight on racism — including bias at the nation’s media outlets — NABJCC’s Board of Directors decided to dedicate our Annual Meeting to “The George Floyd Conversation.”
Set by our constitution to be held each May, the Annual Meeting requires elections (2020 is not an election year), reports from the President, Treasurer and committees, and statement on dues (which remain the same). With gatherings still prohibited in May, the meeting was postponed, now being held via Zoom.
After the business portion, NABJCC plans a “family gathering” discussion of Floyd’s death and the impact, hearing from as many members as time permits, on perspectives and experiences from the turbulent past two weeks.
Under a partnership with the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, with a dual goal of assisting a restaurant/bar sector struggling under closings due to coronavirus, NABJCC members attending the conversation will receive a $25 gift card for take-out “comfort food” + drinks at three Chicago locations. That’s right. Get your meal. Sit back. Join the family.
Limited to Current Dues-Paid Members.

Reporting & Race: Young pros get real about black men in media
2020-06-06 14:00 - 16:00
Racial strife in the community, politics in the newsroom, a global pandemic and job insecurity – there’s no shortage of challenges many black men in media are facing today as they try to establish themselves in the industry in 2020.
So what keeps them going?
NABJ Chicago talks to four young black male journalists to talk about the challenges of the business and the coverage of black men during a hourlong Zoom panel, “Reporting & Race,” part of the National Association of Black Journalists-Chicago Chapter’s Black Male Media Project at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 6.
Follow the discussion on Zoom, Facebook Live and Instagram Live, and tweet your own experiences, questions and concerns about the subject before, during and after the panel using the hashtags #InspireBlackMen and #NABJChicago.
