SUMMARY:How to amp up your reporting using LexisNexis tools
DESCRIPTION:Top-tier research doesn’t begin and end with a quick check on Google. The best in our business comb the LexisNexis news archives for information and tap its massive database to find potential sources and reach them by phone or email. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn how award-winning journalists conduct deep-dive backgrounding on people and subjects\, how they get names and numbers from LexisNexis’ list of 800 million profiles\, and how they use paywalled content and trade journal expertise to generate story ideas and fresh angles. \n\n\n\nMany public libraries offer a limited version of LexisNexis\, and some news publications make it available to writers. Fortunately\, AHCJ members get discounted access to this robust tool. \n\n\n\nHowever\, you don’t have to be a LexisNexis subscriber to attend or benefit from this webinar. Our expert panelist will share his screen and walk you through this trove of source material. If you are a LexisNexis subscriber\, you can follow along on your own computer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Mantel is AHCJ’s health beat leader for freelancing and has written about subjects such as how to find and keep an accountability partner\, how to tap the rich resources at libraries and how to break into narrative journalism. Mantel\, an award-winning journalist\, began her journalism career as the economics reporter and then assistant managing editor of a business news program on ESPN television. She moved to NPR as its economics and business correspondent and later served as the first senior editor\, senior producer and director of the public radio program “Science Friday.” Mantel’s byline has appeared in a wide range of media outlets\, including CQ Researcher\, AARP\, Undark\, Next Avenue\, Medical Economics\, Healthline\, NBCNews.com\, Today.com\, NPR and The New York Times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrad Hamilton runs an award-winning digital newsroom\, The Hatch Institute\, which commissions long-form enterprise pieces and publishes them with big media partners. The institute also mentors and supports other journalists.Hamilton has been a reporter and editor\, primarily in investigative work\, for 40 years\, during which he created and led the New York Post’s first investigations unit and broke numerous front-page exclusives. His work has appeared in The New York Times\, ABC News\, the Los Angeles Times\, Harper’s\, the Guardian\, Playboy\, the Village Voice and other outlets. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, he heads the Institute for Storycraft and Information Gathering\, a nonprofit foundation that provides writing and reporting guidance for campus journalists and other college students.

SUMMARY:Breaking into ghostwriting and collaborating on books
DESCRIPTION:Ghostwriting and collaborating on books are a lucrative income stream — and you don’t have to sacrifice your journalistic principles to do it. The market for these books has mushroomed because publishers are now looking for experts with giant platforms.  \n\n\n\nCollaborations in their various forms can be a financial and professional lifeline; busy ghostwriters and collaborators can make upwards of $100\,000 a year. In this webinar\, two writers and a literary agent will discuss this growing market\, how to get that first assignment as a ghostwriter or collaborator\, what to watch out for in contracts and how to effectively work with an expert. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Mantel is AHCJ’s health beat leader for freelancing and has written about subjects such as how to find and keep an accountability partner\, how to tap the rich resources at libraries and how to break into narrative journalism. Mantel\, an award-winning journalist\, began her journalism career as the economics reporter and then assistant managing editor of a business news program on ESPN television. She moved to NPR as its economics and business correspondent and later served as the first senior editor\, senior producer and director of the public radio program “Science Friday.” Mantel’s byline has appeared in a wide range of media outlets\, including CQ Researcher\, AARP\, Undark\, Next Avenue\, Medical Economics\, Healthline\, NBCNews.com\, Today.com\, NPR and The New York Times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan K. Golant is a book collaborator\, co-author\, book doctor\, ghostwriter\, editor and/or writing coach. Golant has been writing nonfiction books alone and with others since 1982 and has more than 40 books to her credit. Her specialities include psychology\, health and medical breakthroughs\, spirituality and parenting\, among others. She has collaborated with or ghostwritten for M.D.s\, Ph.D.s and Rosalynn Carter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMadeleine Morel is the head of 2M Communications\, an agency that represents more than 100 ghostwriters and collaborators\, matching them with experts\, celebrities and public figures who need help getting their ideas into print. Morel has provided writers for more than 60 New York Times bestsellers. Each writer specializes in an area such as health\, parenting\, memoir/autobiography\, science\, sports and more.
