Trans Media Convening Registration

  • Trans Media Convening Registration

    We're excited you're interested in attending The Objective's first Trans Media Convening!

  • When is this event? What is the registration deadline?

    The convening is on Nov. 14, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. PT // 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. CT // 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. Registration forms must be submitted by Nov. 12, 2025, by 11:59 p.m. ET.

  • What is this event?

    This is a free, virtual-only event on Zoom hosted by The Objective. It will be two panels and a social hour, all centered around trans journalists and trans people working in adjacent fields to journalism discussing how to build a safer media ecosystem and holding newsrooms accountable for contributing to a transphobic climate. Cis allies are welcome to attend! Once you submit a registration form, we will be in touch with the secure Zoom link for the event. We will be screening registrants carefully to keep trolls away and make this a safer space.

  • What happens to my information?

    Each form submission is encrypted. Your information will be stored locally in Jotform and only accessible to a team of vetted volunteers helping The Objective organizing the event, as well as The Objective's two co-directors. It will be deleted after the event and we will only keep your email if you request notes for panels or if you consent to being updated for The Objective's newsletter/future events.

  • About the Narrative Change panel

    The Narrative Change panel will feature panelists involved with Interrupting Criminalization, TransLash Media, the Trans Journalists Association, and OutSports. It is graciously sponsored by Press On, a Southern media and movement journalism collective. Some of the questions the panel will grapple with: How has journalism impacted trans people’s safety both positively and negatively? What are actionable ways journalism can do better? What do we as trans journalists want our media ecosystem to look like?

  • About the Workplace Solidarity panel

    The Narrative Change panel will feature panelists involved with The Flytrap, TransLatin@, and TransFuturist Collective and contributors to Teen Vogue and Scalawag. The panel asks: What does it look like to build coalitions that support trans journalists and people in and outside of the workplace? What kind of material solidarity do trans people need from cis allies in the newsroom and in narrative not just in the current moment, but beyond?

  • About The Objective

    The Objective is a media reporting and criticism newsroom that examines systems of power and inequity in journalism: how newsrooms treat their employees, how journalists interact with their community, and what new forms of journalism can look like.
