Plus: Reporting on firearm violence as a public health issue
How safe is the food we eat? |
Join us for today's webinar at 12 p.m. ET: Why our food supply still isn't safe from contamination as Bara Vaida talks to Bill Marler, food safety lawyer and publisher of Food Safety News, about keeping the food supply safe, what the federal government should be doing about it and story ideas for reporters. |
Bill Marler has represented clients in some of the most high-profile food-borne illness cases in the United States. In 2009, he founded Food Safety News to keep the spotlight on food, health and safety reporting, as traditional news organizations were reducing and eliminating food safety coverage. Marler’s work has been profiled in the book Poisoned and in the Netflix documentary of the same name. |
