SUMMARY:2022 National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the fellowship\n\n\n\nApplications are now being accepted for the 2022-23 class of the National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowships. (Meet last year’s class) \n\n\n\nAHCJ is once again collaborating with the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and the Society of Environmental Journalists to offer this development opportunity to early-career journalists. \n\n\n\nThe fellowships are designed to support early-career journalists who are pursuing — or have a strong interest in pursuing — careers in science\, health or environmental reporting (or all three). \n\n\n\nThe program is primarily aimed at journalists in their first decade of professional work\, who are interested in boosting their ability and confidence to tackle some of the most important stories of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThe program allows fellows to maintain their regular employment while attending intensive training opportunities across the country\, many of which will lead to stories for their employer or clients. Fellowship leaders and mentors will provide support and guidance through seminars\, calls and e-mail consultations. \n\n\n\nCurriculum will include basic science\, interpreting medical studies\, analyzing data\, explaining evidence-based decisions\, understanding climate science and more. \n\n\n\nThe program aspires to provide essential on-the-job training that might otherwise take years to accumulate. \n\n\n\nExpectations\n\n\n\nCandidates should be early-career\, U.S.-based working journalists — either staff or freelance — with at least two years of professional experience. \n\n\n\nFellows will be expected to attend a handful of training events during the program year. Program leaders will decide whether events will take place in person or virtually based on the latest public health considerations\, with fellows’ safety always top of mind. \n\n\n\nEach employer (or\, for a freelancer\, a news outlet that is a regular client) will be asked to provide a letter of recommendation for the applicant. Employers are also asked to pledge their support for the fellows’ participation in all training events. \n\n\n\nBoard members and staffers of the partner organizations are not eligible to apply. \n\n\n\nCASW\, AHCJ\, and SEJ are fully committed to diversity and inclusion in their memberships\, training programs\, and the larger journalism field. We welcome applicants who support that commitment. \n\n\n\nWhat’s covered\n\n\n\nThe fellowship provides: \n\n\n\n\nCustomized seminars and workshops offered in conjunction with the annual conferences produced by AHCJ\, SEJ\, and CASW/NASW\, including support for conference attendance\, food\, lodging\, and travel within the United States;\n\n\n\nA series of virtual events providing skill-building opportunities and updates on stories\, resources and new developments across science\, health\, medicine\, and environment\, including private breakout discussions with experts and trainers;\n\n\n\nTwo years’ membership (new or extended) in AHCJ\, SEJ and NASW\, assuming membership qualifications are met;\n\n\n\nRegistration to any virtual events held during the program year by AHCJ\, SEJ or CASW;\n\n\n\nMentoring opportunities with a senior journalist in a topic area of choice;\n\n\n\nPrivate online site for fellows to refer to training materials\, share reporting efforts and network with one another;\n\n\n\nFor freelancers\, a reporting project support stipend of $2\,000 after successfully completing the program.\n\n\n\n\nAnticipated schedule\n\n\n\nTentative dates and sites (including whether in-person or virtual)\, depending upon public health recommendations: \n\n\n\n\nKick-off seminar\, Oct. 6-7\, 2022 (to be held via Zoom)\n\n\n\nScienceWriters2022\, Memphis\, Tenn.\, Oct. 21-25\, 2022\n\n\n\nHealth Journalism 2023\, St. Louis\, Mo.\, March 9-12\, 2023\n\n\n\nSEJ2023\, Boise\, Idaho\, April 19-23\, 2023\n\n\n\nCustom webinar briefings held periodically through the year\n\n\n\nCareer development seminar and graduation (June or July 2023)\n\n\n\n\nApplication checklist \n\n\n\n\nCover letter introducing yourself\, your journalism background\, efforts at career development\, and explaining why you are seeking the fellowship.\n\n\n\nA current resume or CV.\n\n\n\nA letter of recommendation from your current employer that addresses the benefits of the fellowship to you and the news organization’s audience as well as the employer’s commitment to support your full participation in the fellowship.

SUMMARY:Health Journalism 2023 - St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:The St. Louis Union Station Hotel light show plays during the HJ23 Thursday night reception.(Photo by Zachary Linhares) \n\n\n\nHJ23 draws large crowd to the Gateway to the West\n\n\n\nBy AHCJ Staff \n\n\n\nMore than 550 people gathered in St. Louis for Health Journalism ’23\, with at least 300 organizations represented. \n\n\n\nAs always\, old friends and colleagues reconnected while new friendships and work relationships were formed\, facilitated by the nearly 40 meetups created during the event and 3\,000-plus messages sent to the community board in the conference app\, Whova. \n\n\n\n\nExhibitors\n\n\n\nHotel\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo field trips\, seven featured speakers\, a wide variety of panel discussions\, two evening receptions\, the annual awards luncheon\, plus a bonus trip to the historic Gateway Arch drew great reviews. Attendance was slightly higher than last year’s conference in Austin. \n\n\n\nAHCJ’s Board of Directors held its twice-yearly meeting the day before conference sessions began. They discussed trends in membership growth\, heard updates on AHCJ’s website redesign\, and learned about implementation of the new mentorship program. \n\n\n\nOther conference highlights\n\n\n\n\nIn an inspiring keynote address moderated by board member Marlene Harris-Taylor\, Pulitzer-prize-winning author Tracy Kidder and physician to the homeless Jim O’Connell\, M.D.\, talked about Kidder’s newest book\, “Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O’Connell’s Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People.” The discussion delved into the causes and complex solutions to homelessness and how journalists can improve their reporting on the subject.\n\n\n\nIn a fireside chat moderated by AHCJ Executive Director Kelsey Ryan\, former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams talked about growing up with severe asthma in rural Maryland and what it taught him about health inequities. Adams\, who is now a presidential fellow\,  executive director of health equity initiatives and a distinguished professor of practice in the Departments of Pharmacy Practice and Public Health at Purdue University in Indiana\, also addressed some of the criticisms he faced while working under former President Donald Trump. He called upon journalists to help make health news relevant to readers by using data from their communities and to try to be as apolitical as possible in reporting on health.\n\n\n\nAt PitchFest\, AHCJ’s signature freelance event\, 48 writers pitched their story ideas to 19 editors from publications including The Pulse\, AARP\, Juvenile Justice Info Exchange\, MedPage Today and Mindsite News.\n\n\n\nDuring the “Malignant misinformation: The quest for a ‘cure\,’” roundtable discussion\, co-moderated by Kaiser Family Foundation Senior Fellow Irving Washington and Washington Post reporter Lauren Weber\, the discussion focused on what technology companies\, medical journals and health communicators can do collaboratively to counter harmful falsehoods before they snowball. Google/YouTube Director and Global Head Healthcare and Public Health Garth Graham and JAMA editor-in-chief Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo were the featured speakers.\n\n\n\nRecipients of the 2022 Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism were also recognized in 14 reporting categories.\n\n\n\n\nIf you missed the conference or are looking for session summaries and resources\, check out coverage on AHCJ’s website\, visit the conference page in Novi or browse the conference media gallery to view photos from sessions\, receptions and more. \n\n\n\nThe conference was hosted by Washington University in St. Louis/BJC HealthCare and Missouri Foundation for Health. Endowing sponsors included the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust\, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHOSTS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nENDOWING SPONSORS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSORS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
