Tomorrow: Next webinar in NPCJI series of public health training sessions for journalists

The next session in a National Press Club Journalism Institute series of six virtual programs, aimed at training journalists who cover public health, is coming up Tuesday, April 29, at noon. Sign up for How community health workers can be the key to your reporting.

Launched in February, the sessions — which generally fall on the last Tuesday of the month — are scheduled for the noon hour. Here's the rest of the schedule for May through July:

• Covering rural & urban health disparities (May 27, noon EDT)
• Finding focus and shaping your narrative (June 24, noon EDT)
• Lessons from our inaugural journalism fellowship cohort (July 25, noon EDT)

Registration for these programs is free and open to the public. Use the links above and bookmark these dates — all registrants will receive a link to the recording. 

The final webinar on Friday, July 25, is expected to feature insights from five journalists who are participating in the Institute’s inaugural Public Health Reporting Fellowship, funded by the Common Health Coalition. The fellows plan to share details from their completed reporting projects, which investigate the growing disparities and solutions in disease prevention and health care for immigrant workers, rural populations, and elder communities, among other topics.

“Recent history has illustrated the necessity of strong health journalism that not only explains critical issues but goes further to reveal the impact of solutions-oriented infrastructures that could help move the needle in improving public health,” said NPC Journalism Institute Executive Director Beth Francesco.
