SUMMARY:Covering COVID-19 in Indian Country
DESCRIPTION:NAJA to host Covering COVID-19 in Indian Country virtual roundtable July 23\n\nThe virtual roundtable series will feature discussions with Indigenous journalists covering the coronavirus pandemic in Indian Country. The first discussion will focus on coverage of the Navajo Nation. NAJA is now accepting pitches for the series. \nThe Native American Journalists Association recognizes that media professionals\, including members working across Indian Country\, are working through challenges to sort and assess information quickly as they cover the impact of COVID-19\, while also prioritizing their own health and safety. Indigenous communities continue to be disproportionately affected by the pandemic due to pre-existing health vulnerabilities\, historical disenfranchisement\, and insufficient government support for programs despite treaty obligations. \nThe Covering COVID-19 in Indian Country virtual roundtable series will continue to serve our membership by highlighting expert strategies for covering the pandemic in Indigenous communities. The series will also inform a “Covering COVID-19 in Indian Country” reporting guide. This guide will provide ethical guidance for journalists covering the pandemic.  \nThe first reporting roundtable will feature four journalists from the Navajo Nation who have covered the outbreak over the past three months. Navajo Nation has one of the highest per-capita infection rates in the U.S. \n\n\nTom Arviso\, Publisher – Navajo Times \n\n\nDonovan Quintero\, Photojournalist – Navajo Times \n\n\nNoel Smith\, Reporter – Farmington Daily Times \n\n\nJourdan Bennett-Begaye\, Washington\, D.C. Bureau Chief – Indian Country Today \n\n\nMary Hudetz\, a reporter on the Seattle Times’ investigative team\, will moderate.  \nNAJA will host the “Covering COVID-19 in Indian Country: Navajo Nation” roundtable and live Q&A on Thursday\, July 23 at 3 p.m.\, CT via Zoom and participants may register in advance here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nThe recording will also be available on the NAJA website at www.naja.com. \n  \nThe “Covering COVID-19 in Indian Country” roundtable series is supported by the following sponsors:  \n\n\nDemocracy Fund \n\n\nKnight Foundation \n\n\nGoogle News Initiative \n\n\nFord Foundation

SUMMARY:Covering Climate\, COVID\, and Environmental Justice: A Journalists' Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:At this moment of reckoning — with COVID\, climate change\, and racial inequality — it has never been more clear that ensuring a safe environment for all requires understanding the ways in which inequity fosters vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and infectious disease. \nThrough reporting on environmental injustice\, journalists can help the public understand these linkages and share the experiences of under-represented communities with a wider audience. At the same time\, the news industry is beginning to reckon with its own history of structural inequality and ongoing racism within the newsroom\, which have helped to marginalize the concept of environmental justice and the reporters who cover it. \nJoin the Society of Environmental Journalists on Wednesday\, July 8th from 1-2 PM EST\, for a #SEJ2020 webinar with environmental reporters and storytellers who will discuss their experiences covering climate\, COVID\, and environmental justice. \nAll journalists welcome. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Essential Ingredients: Will China’s Dominance in Raw Materials Imperil the U.S.?
DESCRIPTION:Online Briefing\nTuesday\, July 7\, 10:30 a.m. Eastern\nLearn More \nThey are ingredients essential for everything from livestock feed to advanced weaponry to green technology. And they are increasingly mined or processed in China – upwards of 90% for some. From “rare earth elements” used in wind turbines and jet fighters\, to vitamins used in food supplies\, these raw materials are vital to American and global commerce. Many countries – including the United States – have essentially outsourced their production to one country: China. But as China grows more powerful\, more assertive and more competitive militarily\, the Trump administration is eager to reduce U.S. dependence. In this 60-minute briefing\, we’ll hear from experts on why the U.S. gave up production of many of these vital materials\, what could happen if China locks down exports of them\, and the prospects for diversifying vital supply chains. \nThe briefing will be held on Zoom\, and journalists who register may ask questions by audio or chat. \nRegister \nSpeakers:\n\n\nGlenn Luckinbill\, director\, Supply Chain Innovation Forum\, Ivy College of Business\, Iowa State University. @ISU_CoB \n\n\nJane Nakano\, senior fellow\, Energy Security and Climate Change Program\, Center for Strategic and International Studies. @CSISEnergy \n\n\nKristin Vekasi\, assistant professor\, Department of Political Science and School of Policy and International Affairs\, University of Maine. @ProfVekasi \n\n\nThis program is sponsored by the Hinrich Foundation\, an Asia-based philanthropic organization that works to advance mutually beneficial and sustainable global trade. NPF retains sole responsibility for programming and content of the briefings.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 - Health Inequities: Addressing the Disease Burden in Black\, Indigenous & PoC Communities
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, part of the COVID-19 Webinar Miniseries\, explains why the novel coronavirus has disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color communities. Existing data shows that people in these communities are more likely to contract COVID-19 and are at higher risk of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. For example\, while Black people make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population\, they account for 24 percent of COVID-19 deaths where race is known (COVID-19 Tracking Project). Disparities also exist among Latinx\, American Indian\, Alaskan Native\, and Pacific Islander populations. These disparities can be linked to a number of complex and interrelated issues\, including limited access to medical services\, socioeconomic disadvantages\, and the effects of structural inequities and discrimination. \n\n\nModerator: Laurie Zephyrin\, The Commonwealth Fund \n\n\nAdaeze Enekwechi\, IMPAQ\, LLC \n\n\nRachel Hardeman\, University of Minnesota School of Public Health \n\n\nWizdom Powell\, UConn Health\, Health Disparities Institute \n\n\nTuesday\, June 16\, noon – 1 p.m. ET \nRegister Now \nThis webinar is a project of the Alliance for Health Policy\, with support from NIHCM Foundation and The Commonwealth Fund. \n

SUMMARY:COVID-19 Impact on American Indians\, from Sovereign Tribal Nations to 'Invisible' Urban Communities
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 28\, noon ET\nHealth Equity in Real Time with COVID-19 \nAs states across the country begin to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic\, American Indian communities like the Navajo Nation are grappling with scarce resources and infection rates that have eclipsed early epicenters in New York and New Jersey. \nDriving these infection rates are long-standing inequities\, including limited access to health care\, overcrowded housing\, high rates of poverty and chronic disease\, and limited access to basic services like grocery stores\, supplies and running water. These high numbers can also be attributed to sovereign tribal nations’ robust testing programs. For example\, Navajo Nation has the highest testing rate per capita in the United States with 13 percent of its residents tested for the virus. \nBut with 70% of American Indians living in urban areas and 78% living outside of sovereign tribal nations\, the ability to control the spread of the virus is a challenge. Inadequate data collection and historic distrust of the government create barriers to understanding the impact in what some call an “invisible” community. \nTo help journalists report on the health and economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on American Indian communities both now and as states navigate reopening\, University of North Dakota researcher and physician Donald Warne\, M.D.\, M.P.H.\, will be available to answer questions on Thursday\, May 28. Dr. Warne is the associate dean of diversity\, equity and inclusion at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences. He also directs the Indians Into Medicine (INMED) program. Warne was the opening speaker at Health Journalism 2018 in Phoenix. \nWarne will cover: \n\n\nWhat has the research revealed about American Indians’ biggest public health challenges before COVID-19? \n\n\nHow has the impact of COVID-19 on American Indian communities differed from others? \n\n\nHow do experiences in sovereign tribal nations compare to those of American Indians living in urban communities? \n\n\nWhat can be done in the short- and long-term\, particularly around data collection and reporting\, to address inequities exacerbated by COVID-19? \n\n\nWHEN: \n\nThursday\, May 28\, 2020\, 12 p.m. ET (11 a.m. CT / 10 a.m. MT / 9 a.m. PT)\n\nModerator: Nicole Bronzan\, senior communications officer\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \n  \nRegister Here \nPress teleconference sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Covering Coronavirus: Can We Pass the Test?
DESCRIPTION:May 13\, 1 p.m. ET \nThe Center for health Journalism at University of Southern California\, Annenberg hosts this webinar on testing for COVID-19.  \nDr. Michael Osterholm of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy and Apoorva Mandavilli  of the New York Times will discuss why testing has been described as essential for easing restrictions and reopening the country. But experts widely agree that the U.S. has nowhere near the number of test kits and lab capacity we need. Meanwhile\, huge questions remain about the reliability of antibody tests that have flooded the market with no FDA oversight. In this webinar\, we’ll hear from a leading infectious disease expert and top reporter on whether or not we can test our way out of this crisis — and what that means for near-term efforts to reopen states and jumpstart the economy. For more information and to sign up for the webinar\, go here.
