Getting paid what you're worth: How to advocate for yourself and your career
Advocating for yourself in the news industry can feel overwhelming. You may be hesitant to ask for a raise, a promotion or even a new job opportunity, such as working on a podcast or a change in beats.
In this virtual panel, SPJ/LA breaks down the best strategies for advancing at work, navigating salary negotiations and preparing for meetings with a boss.
The panel will be moderated by Erick Galindo, creator, head writer and host of the international hit podcast "Idolo: The Ballad of Chalino Sanchez." Galindo is also head writer for the award-winning podcast "WILD" for LAist Studios.
The event's panelists are:

Carolina Miranda, arts and urban design columnist for the Los Angeles Times, where she covers art and culture
