Last Wednesday,
Bhava Communications and
PRSA San Francisco co-hosted a panel event at the Parlor inside
The Battery that centered around a meta conversation about the conversation about how diversity, inclusion, and women in tech are being represented in the media, the challenges that come with it, and what to look forward to in 2018.

Anton and Duncan from the Bhava team with panel speaker, Daisuke Wakabayashi, business reporter for The New York Times (above). |

Closing remarks from PRSA Immediate Past President, Y'Anad Burrell (above left). |
A few takeaways that stuck with me:
Daisuke's tip to focus on the story arc rather than happy stories alone, and his clearest piece of advice "Don't lie to me" when pitching a story.
Sequoia agreed with Daisuke that the story arc is important, however she shared how she chooses to cover positive stories as media representations are often negative.
TC highlighted the importance of representing people of all shapes and sizes, and also shared insight into how the code one writes can be shaped or informed by transitioning genders.
For those who attended the panel, was there a takeaway you want to share? Feel free to share in the comments below. Thank you again to
Bhava for inviting me to document your panel!
