How can journalists continue to report on COVID-19 in novel ways that inform communities, while steering clear of sensationalism? In this webinar, Kaiser Health News data editor Liz Lucas will look broadly at the COVID-19 data landscape and walk journalists through data sources on case counts, deaths, and demographics; on nursing homes, which have been particularly hard hit. She focus specifically on data sources that can aid informed, in-depth reporting on the overall trend of the pandemic, the infrastructure needed to survive it, and the people most vulnerable to it. She’ll also talk about what data exists nationally, and what data journalists should pursue locally.
