Learn how to find and analyze climate data, March 11

In honor of Sunshine Week, the National Press Club Journalism Institute and Freedom of the Press Committee will hold a discussion obtaining climate data and improving coverage

The conversation will take place in the Murrow Room and run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 11. Admission is free but registration is required. There will be time for questions at the end.

Participants will learn what quality government/academic/private data sets are available to reporters and how to get them, how to analyze the data and what red flags to watch out for, and how to determine how independent the scientists and experts are and where their funding comes from.

Confirmed speakers include Elliott Negin, senior writer at the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Chelsea Harvey, E&E News climate science reporter and panel moderator.
