Rural Health Journalism Workshop 2019
Free workshop in Denver to cover health issues of rural America
AHCJ’s 11th Rural Health Journalism Workshop will bring journalists together with health care and policy experts who focus on the medical challenges of rural areas.
Leave with a better understanding of what’s happening – or will be happening – in rural regions, and return to work with dozens of story ideas you can pursue. You don’t have to live in a rural area to write great stories about what’s happening just beyond the city limits. And think about how much policy is set based on the non-urban population of your state.
This special one-day, no-fee workshop will help you find and cover health stories in rural America.
Health journalism saves lives.
Everyone should have access to quality health care information so they can make informed decisions. Join AHCJ today for exclusive access to training and education to inform your community.
