It was a privilege to be part of such an inspiring initiative, emphasizing our commitment to our DC community and its rich heritage. Thank you to the Trust for the National Mall and to our partners and clients for making it a memorable evening! #ballforthemall #ogilvydc #ogilvy

Yesterday, Ogilvy DC had the honor of partnering with Robert Allbritton and the Allbritton Journalism Institute to host a conversation on the ever so-important topic of representation in the newsroom, moderated by the wonderful and inspiring Wesley Lowery.    For anyone in Washington this week, you know it’s a busy time ahead of the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend – so to be able to take a moment out to have this dialogue with other leaders and communicators was really meaningful. Wes led a terrific talk on how businesses and the media alike can find different paths to getting younger, diverse journalists trained up and into the field – or adjacent fields – despite ongoing newsroom cutbacks.     At Ogilvy DC, much of our work focuses on building cultural movements that drive real structural change – moving hearts and minds, rather than products. And one of the reasons I was so excited to partner with AJI was because of the intersection of this issue with the work we do. To build the types of movements we create, we need both more representative centers of power in corporate America and more representative news media. And that starts with fostering new, diverse voices through programs like AJI’s Reporting Fellowship.   Thank you again to Wes, Robert and Imperfecto for having us – let's continue the conversation.
