The media landscape is changing fast, and the lines between journalism, content creation, and influence are more blurred than ever. So what can journalists and influencers actually learn from each other?
Join us for a real conversation on storytelling, credibility, audience trust, and building impact in the digital age. From breaking news to viral moments, this panel explores how traditional media and creator culture are shaping the future together.
Hear from industry voices who’ve successfully navigated both worlds:

Lavelle Dunn — Digital content creator and influencer with more than 1 million followers, known for viral food and lifestyle content. He has partnered with brands including Apple, Taco Bell, Kleenex, and Costco, and recently hosted French Quarter Fest.
Whether you're in a newsroom, building a platform, or figuring out how to do both, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss!
