AHCJ members are invited to participate in a free online demo of the LexisNexis news archives, which journalists use to research subjects and find sources for their work.
The webinar is being offered as part of a deal to get discounted access to LexisNexis, a program for AHCJ members arranged in partnership with the Contently Foundation, a New York nonprofit for investigative reporting.
The 45-minute session is set for Wednesday, Nov. 1, at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
The event will show you how to make the most of these vast archives. They include 26,000 newspapers, magazines, wires, trade journals and industry publications, about 250 of which cover health issues.
There’s also a contacts database used to develop sources by identifying and locating employees of companies and agencies. It provides their business phone numbers and emails, along with career and personal information.
The cost is $19.95 per month, based on a one-year subscription payable at the time of purchase. To take advantage of the deal, click here.
During the session, you’ll learn how to run searches and find information. But you may also submit questions in advance, and the hosts will provide results during the session. So if you need something immediately for a current project, this webinar could provide valuable information.
To submit questions in advance, send them by email to Brad Hamilton of the Contently Foundation (brad@expertaccess.org) or Margaret Hart of LexisNexis (margaret.hart@lexisnexis.com).
