SUMMARY:Mainstream Malpractice: Improving Indigenous COVID-19 coverage
DESCRIPTION:This episode of the NAJA Roundtable series will feature experts and reporters who will discuss common pitfalls and best practices when covering the pandemic in Indian Country.  \nThe Native American Journalists Association recognizes that media professionals are confronted with unique challenges when covering issues affecting Indigenous people and communities. The NAJA Roundtable series aims to examine the challenges and best practices for reporting these stories. \nNon-Indigenous editors\, producers\, and reporters in mainstream media continue to be inconsistent in how they report on the pandemic and its impact across Indian Country. Inexperienced non-Indigenous journalists too often dip into common tropes and stereotypes in their reporting. How can non-Indigenous reporters and outlets avoid these bias-reinforcements while empowering more culturally conscious\, accurate\, and contextual reporting? Our panelists will discuss and offer solutions. \nThe roundtable panelists include: \n\n\nCandis Callison (Tahltan First Nation)\, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia School of Journalism \n\n\nNick Martin (Sappony)\, staff writer covering Indian Country at The New Republic \n\n\nShondiin Silversmith (Diné)\, Indigenous affairs reporter at The Arizona Republic \n\n\nModerated by Deb Krol (Xolon Salinan)\, NAJA member and environmental reporter at The Arizona Republic. \nNAJA will host the roundtable and live Q&A at 4 pm CT on Thursday\, January 21\, 2021\, via Zoom. Participants may register in advance here. After registering\, attendees will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the webinar. \nThe recording will also be available on the NAJA website and NAJA YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Preprints In The Public Eye: Challenges and Solutions in an Age of Misinformation
DESCRIPTION:January 14\, 2021. 4pm GMT/ 11am EST/ 8am PST.   \nCovid-19 has brought 2020 to the height of this Age of Misinformation\, with particular concerns about the media reporting of research posted as preprints. It has not been all doom and gloom however. This year has provided a strong impetus to develop novel ways to improve how science is reported in the media. We are excited to invite you to the #PreprintsInThePublicEye: Challenges and Solutions in an Age of Misinformation online event on January 14\, 2021. We will be bringing together a wide range of expertise to highlight issues around the media reporting of research as well as the positive steps that can be taken to improve how research is reported in the media to avoid its misinterpretation and misuse. Not least of these initiatives is ASAPbio’s own Preprints in the Public Eye project funded by Open Society Foundations. You can provide feedback on that project here. \nFor the first time\, we will be running a live experiment on ‘tweeting to a format’ on Twitter. \nYou can find more information about the speakers and program\, and register for the event here.

SUMMARY:Distributing the COVID-19 Vaccine: A Virtual Conversation with Gerald Posner
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 147-8 p.m. EST \n\n\nWhy are there delays in vaccine distribution?  \n\n\nWhy have so few people been vaccinated? \n\n\nIs giving people just one dose of the vaccine a sound strategy? \n\n\nScience Writers in New York is excited to kick off 2021 with author and award-winning investigative journalist Gerald Posner (@geraldposner). \nPosner will talk to SWINY co-chair David Levine (@dlloydlevine) about why the vaccine rollout is so slow\, what can be done about it and whether altering the vaccine dose schedule makes sense. \nThe U.S. government has shipped more than 15 million vaccine doses to states\, but only 4.5 million people have received them so far\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are 21 million health care workers nationwide and three million residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. \nIn New York City\, whose population is 8 million\, approximately 110\,000 people received the first of two doses necessary to help prevent serious cases of the disease. That is about a quarter of the total number received by the city. \nAccording to The New York Times\, “Around the world\, inoculation efforts in many countries are rolling out slower than promised\, even as the count of new infections soars and record numbers flood hospitals\, placing a double burden on health care providers who have also been tasked with leading the vaccination push. And a more contagious variant spreading widely in England and detected in dozens of other countries threatens to give the virus an even greater advantage.” \nThere have been proposals to just give one dose of the vaccine to get more people vaccinated. But Dr. Anthony Fauci said on January 5th\, “there is no scientific data to support giving just a single dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna Covid-19 vaccines.” \nAbout Gerald Posner\nPosner is the author of 13 acclaimed books\, including “Case Closed\, Why America Slept and God’s Bankers” and his latest\, “Pharma: Greed\, Lies\, and the Poisoning of America (March 2020\, Simon and Schuster)” \nHave a question for Gerald Posner you would like answered? Submit it here. \nRegister:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pnKXyTioTkO8DyHQgOhDRA
