SUMMARY:Inform\, soothe\, terrify? The ethical obligation of news during a pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 14\, 2020 at 2 p.m. Eastern\nTo counter news fatigue\, journalists must make their work specific\, practical and solutions-oriented. That means newsrooms must rethink every aspect of every COVID-19 story\, from topic selection to framing to tone to headline. There are more limits than ever on your limited resources. \nIn this short session\, we’ll offer a framework for thinking about your editorial promise to your audience. For many newsrooms\, this is an opportunity to reframe how your audience thinks of your work and ultimately of your value to them. Join Kelly McBride\, Poynter’s senior vice president and the chair of the Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership\, as she connects journalism ethics to editorial promise\, helping both frontline journalists and newsroom leaders identify the most important work to tackle. You will leave the session knowing how to: \n\n\nIdentify your core mission as a journalism organization and \n\n\nApply your organization’s values to your content strategy as you cover the coming months of both the pandemic and the economic crisis \n\n\nCommunicate your foundational ethical beliefs to your audience \n\n\n Click here to register.

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.

SUMMARY:Food Insecurity & Growing Concerns During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:May 11\, 2020 | 2-3 p.m. ET\nPrior to COVID-19\, it was estimated that 1 in 9 Americans were food insecure and lacked consistent access to enough food and nutritious options\, including 11 million children.

Speakers will discuss:  \n\n\nThe evolution of food insecurity in the US and how it impacts many vulnerable communities \n\n\nHow a national hunger relief organization is responding to the crisis and building partnerships to help communities secure the resources they need \n\n\nA health plan’s commitment to addressing food insecurity and how they are responding to the needs of their community \n\n\nRegister here. \n

SUMMARY:Looking More Closely At Evidence For COVID-19 Coverage
DESCRIPTION:It’s difficult to evaluate new evidence in the middle of the crisis\, including the COVID-19 pandemic. SJN hears from journalists that they need more guidance on how to evaluate the latest numbers\, research and statistics on COVID-19’s spread. \nJoin a conversation with investigative reporter Matt Kauffman from SJN’s Positive Deviance data project\, and Cheryl Phillips\, director of Big Local News at Stanford. \nMichelle Faust Raghavan\, SJN’s west coast region manager and former health reporter\, will lead the discussion. \nWe’ll look at a new database created by Kauffman to track disparities in how COVID-19 impacts communities. We’ll also look at ways journalists can use this database for solutions journalism and\, woven into that\, why it will be hard to get data now about the value of responses. But also what data sources to watch as time goes on. \nBring your questions\, challenges and story ideas to this advanced discussion about evaluating evidence. \nMore information.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 Susceptibility\, Immunity\, and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:As the world continues to deal with the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic\, Annual Reviews is dedicated to providing context for the deep personal\, social\, and cultural impacts we are all experiencing. Last week\, we hosted our first online panel to discuss the benefits and risks of social interaction during a time when isolation is an important step to halt the spread of disease. \nThis week\, we continue our online series by hosting an interview of a prominent researcher who is studying the genetic factors that contribute to the severity of COVID-19. As a valued member of the Annual Reviews community\, we sincerely hope you’ll find these discussions useful and we invite you to watch\, ask questions\, and share with colleagues. If you would like to receive future event announcements\, please opt in here. \nTopic: Genetic Factors Contributing to the Severity of COVID-19 Thursday\, April 23\, 2020 @ 1pm Eastern\, 10am Pacific  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nJoin us for an online interview with Russ Altman and Jean-Laurent Casanova. \nOne of the mysteries of COVID-19 is why it develops as a severe\, life-threatening disease in a small proportion of otherwise healthy people\, while the vast majority of healthy individuals experience mild or even no symptoms.  \nPlease join Dr. Casanova\, who is now leading a project to identify the genes that predispose individuals to severe forms of COVID-19 in conversation with Dr. Altman\, a leading medical bioinformatics researcher and Editor of the Annual Review of Biomedical Data Science. Dr. Altman also hosts the radio show The Future of Everything. \nThe Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanism of Disease has recently published an article by Dr. Casanova and his co-author  Laurent Abel that further describes how infectious agents and genetic susceptibility must coincide for life-threatening diseases to develop.
