As news organizations navigate an era of political division and misinformation, the role of journalism has never been more essential — or more scrutinized. To regain public confidence, media outlets must reevaluate their approach, address biases, and bridge the gap between their narratives and the perspectives of the broader electorate.

Join us for a compelling conversation with Sharon Waxman, founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of TheWrap, the leading independent digital news organization covering the business of entertainment and media. An award-winning journalist and best-selling author, Waxman has spent her career at the forefront of media, founding TheWrap over a decade ago to deliver trusted investigative reporting, expert analysis, and in-depth industry coverage.

A former Hollywood correspondent for The New York Times and longtime journalist at The Washington Post, Waxman has covered everything from global conflicts to the shifting media landscape. In this discussion, she will share her insights on navigating journalism in an era of unprecedented political and cultural polarization, the challenges of maintaining trust with audiences, and the evolving role of media in shaping public discourse.

Waxman’s recent articles include ‘Surviving Trump 2.0: Buckle Up for a Long Haul and Don’t Give In to the Chaos’ and ‘The Media Needs a Reinvention Not Just a Wake-Up Call After Trump’s Surprise Win’.
