Presented by the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Media Fellowships Program, the Foundation invites you to attend an interactive webinar: “Covering The Affordable Care Act (ACA): Researching Consumer Stories, Finding New Ideas & Securing Real World Examples.” Exclusively for journalists, this webinar will take place on Thursday, November 14 from 12:30 p.m. ET to 1:30 p.m. ET.
Featuring Kaiser Health News (KHN) Staff Writer Sarah Varney, and KHN’s “Insuring Your Health” columnist Michelle Andrews, this webinar will discuss approaches to covering this complex story by incorporating individual examples; provide tips and techniques for digging into the details of the law (with expert help) to describe how its provisions play out in real life; and suggest new angles and under-reported story ideas. Additionally, they will identify upcoming policy deadlines and timelines, and explore how to weave these into your stories over the next several months. After a brief presentation, both presenters will answer questions.
