Wondering what the 2020 U.S. Census will reveal about your community? By mid-August, the U.S. Census Bureau will release demographic statistics from last year’s data-gathering effort. Join this one-hour webinar to prepare to cover the stories behind the numbers. Journalists from all beats will learn key concepts, how to generate story ideas and where to find expert sources. According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation Vaccine Monitor report, COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Black/African American populations continues to lag in at least 40 states. The need to address this trend is crucial because of the recent rapid rise in COVID-19 infections and deaths, a sharp decline in vaccinations, the emergence of the more contagious Delta variant, as well as the misinformation and myths that continue to persist about the virus. The We Can Do This campaign is hosting a virtual press briefing for Black/African American media. During this live event, medical experts, including trusted Black local doctors, will provide up-to-date COVID-19 vaccine information and will discuss how Black/African Americans can regain traction in their fight against COVID-19. Experts will discuss building confidence in the vaccines, the importance of getting adolescents and young adults vaccinated, and the Delta variant. The event will also address the social conditions that make Black Americans more susceptible to COVID-19 and the impact of COVID-19 on Black families. |
