SUMMARY:COVID-19 data sources to make fact checking easy
DESCRIPTION:In one sense\, it’s an excellent time to cover the news with data. There’s a trove of COVID-19 data available\, along with dashboards and application programming interfaces for developers to use from local\, state and federal agencies. But\, this firehouse of statistics from varying sources creates uncertainty about what sources editors and reporters should be using as they go about fact-checking important coronavirus stories. \nAnd with fewer resources across local newsrooms\, there aren’t nearly enough data reporters to go around and make sense of everything. This session will teach you where to get — and interpret — the best data available. Are you looking at a model that has legitimate assumptions? Where can you go to get the most up-to-date and accurate data on your county’s hospital capacity? What in the heck is a logarithmic scale? \nThere are no easy answers. Join Alex Mahadevan\, senior multimedia reporter at Poynter’s MediaWise project\, as he walks reporters and editors through how to find the best sources for COVID-19 data to fact-check your work\, and how to avoid pitfalls encountered when reporting and using that data. As experts continue to learn new information about the coronavirus daily and the information our communities need to stay safe and healthy is constantly changing\, facts matter now more than ever. \nSign up now for your opportunity to pose questions directly to Alex during a video chat from 2 to 2:30 p.m. Eastern on Thursday\, April 16\, 2020. \nRegister now.

SUMMARY:Dr. Seema Yasmin on Journalists and Public Health Crises
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 9\, 2020 at 2PM ET\, Dr. Seema Yasmin kicks off the first virtual Talks @ Pulitzer Science and Health Series. \nDr. Yasmin tackles three key issues of our time during the coronavirus pandemic: how journalism fits into the public health ecosystem\, the challenges journalists face in covering health crises\, and where journalism falls short\, especially in reporting on vulnerable and marginalized communities\, including individuals who are incarcerated\, homeless\, or long-ignored neighborhoods whose stories go untold. \nDr. Yasmin is a multimedia reporter\, medical doctor\, poet\, and current director of the Stanford Health Communication Initiative. Her forthcoming book\, If God is a Virus: The Ebola Poems (Haymarket\, 2021)\, combines Pulitzer Center-supported reporting from West Africa\, with poetry\, to tell the stories of Ebola survivors and responders. \nRegistration required for this free webinar. Sign up today!  \nPublic health experts\, university faculty and students\, and individuals involved with community organizations are especially encouraged to join the session. It is the first in a two-month-long series Pulitzer Center will organize with public health journalists and experts. \nFor a deeper dive into public health reporting supported by the Pulitzer Center\, our education team’s work on Exploring Past Public Health Emergencies Around the World may be of interest. A separate webinar geared toward students (recommended grade 6 and up\, their teachers and guardians)\, is set for Wednesday\, April 8\, with Dr. Yasmin.
