When reporting on sensitive public health issues, it can be difficult to find a way into the communities you’re covering. Often, the best way to learn what’s at stake is to connect with community health workers who are on the frontlines of local issues, have earned the trust of those they serve, and can act as a liaison to potential sources.
Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for a 30-minute webinar starting at noon ET to hear Dr. Bechara Choucair, Executive Vice President and Chief Health Officer at Kaiser Permanente, and Denise Octavia Smith, Executive Director at the National Association of Community Health Workers, discuss how journalists can engage community health workers while respecting privacy issues that may arise in their work.
