The latest version of the Covering Health Issues sourcebook has been updated with even more examples of how reporters have used it for local stories. For example, the section on Mental Health and Substance Abuse links to nine related stories and four additional related resources. Those stories included cuts to Tennessee’s mental health agency, a profile of aMichigan troupe that blends acting and therapy and possible changes to mental health care for inmates in California’s Ventura County.
It’s a handy place to check when you’re looking for examples of how to localize certain topics, especially since you’ll also be to pull relevant facts and background from the accompanying chapter of the sourcebook.
The print version of the sourcebook was distributed to AHCJ members last year.
