SUMMARY:Stopping the Next One: How two journalists covered the race to prevent the next pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2021 Smith/Patterson Science Journalism Lecture \n6 p.m. Wednesday\, Sept. 29Smith Forum\, 200 RJISimultaneously live-streaming on the J School Facebook page \nJournalists Harriet Constable and Jacob Kushner will discuss their six-part multimedia series for BBC\, “Stopping the Next One\,” which explores six diseases that could cause the next global pandemic and the scientists working to keep that from happening. Their stories cover a bat-borne virus in Asia\, a super-spreader mosquito that has crossed from India to North America\, African camels carrying Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)\, swine flu in Europe\, monkeys with yellow fever in South America\, and possums carrying flesh-eating bacteria in Australia. \n“The time to stop the next pandemic is now\,” Kushner said. “As journalists\, it’s our job to lead the way toward a solution by highlighting the public policies governments can enact to enable scientists to discover future\, pandemic-possible diseases — before it’s too late.” \n“I hope the audience comes away seeing that there’s a great deal we can all be doing – on a personal\, local and global scale\, to put ourselves in a safer position for the future\,” Constable said. \nJacob will be here in-person from Nairobi\, and Harriet will attend via Zoom from London.  \nAttend in-person (with masks) or watch live on the J School Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Make it stop: Reporter burnout and the endless pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 15\, 1 p.m. ET\nIt’s been more than a year and a half since reporters were thrust into the daily challenge of reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic\, and there’s still no end in sight. It’s been a bruising struggle for the high ground against misinformation\, disinformation and often very personal attacks on social media and in real life by news media-haters and science-rejecters. The strain of bearing witness to other people’s pain — on top of the personal losses many reporters have suffered — has made a hard job even more difficult. Is there a way to do this kind of work and stay psychologically healthy? The answer is yes. Find out how. \nView the recording See the presentation \n\n\nElana Newman\, Ph.D. is McFarlin Professor of Psychology at the University of Tulsa\, research director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma\, and co-director of the University of Tulsa Institute of Trauma\, Adversity\, and Injustice. She is a journalist ally & expert in traumatic stress studies. Throughout her career\, Newman has researched a wide range of topics regarding traumatic life events: PTSD assessment in children and adults\, journalism and trauma\, veterans\, disaster mental health\, substance abuse\, sexual assault\, therapy\, cultural issues\, and trauma\,  and trauma research ethics. Together with a colleague\, she fostered the creation and acceptance of the APA New Haven Competencies/Guidelines on Trauma Competencies for Education and Training. Her scholarly work in journalism and trauma focuses on understanding the occupational health of journalists who cover traumatic events and examining the effects of journalistic practice upon consumers and individuals covered in the news. Newman has overseen the development of a bibliographic database about journalism and trauma to aid teachers and scholars in identifying information about trauma and journalism (see www.dartcenter.org). She helps journalists learn about trauma science\, best psychological practices for interviewing survivors\, self-care\, best newsroom practices and consider other ways psychological knowledge may be relevant to journalistic practice. Newman also trains organizations\, professionals\, clinicians\, and researchers on how they can better collaborate with journalists. Newman regularly consults to a range of organizations\, attorneys\, businesses and about trauma science\, resilience building\, self-care\, trauma-informed practice. Newman also serves as a writing consultant for those working on trauma-related topics. Newman co-directed the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma’s first satellite office in NYC after 9-11. Newman is a past president of the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies. \n\n\nNaseem Miller is senior health editor at The Journalist’s Resource\, a project of Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center. Prior to JR she was the senior health reporter at the Orlando Sentinel\, where she covered the Pulse Nightclub mass shooting. In 2017\, she helped start the Journalists Covering Trauma Facebook group to create a supportive space for reporters who cover tragic events. She has an undergraduate degree in molecular and microbiology and a master’s degree in multimedia journalism and public affairs. \n\n\nKatti Gray is AHCJ’s core topic leader for behavioral and mental health. A former Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellow\, Gray provides resources to help AHCJ members expand their coverage of mental health amid ongoing efforts to de-stigmatize mental illness and to place mental health care on par with all health care. \n\n\nCaroline Chen is an investigative reporter covering health care at ProPublica. Her stories on the pandemic were part of the coverage that earned ProPublica a finalist nomination for the Pulitzer Prize in public service. \n\n\nKatherine Reed will moderate and is director of education and content and a longtime member of AHCJ. She was a professor of practice in the Missouri School of Journalism for 17 years and an editor at the Columbia Missourian.

SUMMARY:Media Briefing to Discuss COVID-19 Vaccinations In Black/African American Communities
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: 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.   \nThe 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.  \nWHO: \n\n\nDr. Cameron Webb\, Senior Policy Advisor for Equity on the White House COVID-19 Response Team  \n\n\nGeorgeta Dragoiu\, White House Presidential Innovation Fellow on the COVID-19 Public Education Campaign  \n\n\nDr. Rachel Villanueva\, Clinical Assistant Professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and President of the National Medical Association  \n\n\nDr. Michele Benoit-Wilson\, WakeMed Health\, Raleigh\, NC  \n\n\nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 11\, 2021\, 12 pm ET (11 am CT) \nWHERE: Click here to register. \nHOW:  For additional information please contact: Darryl Sellers\, Director of Public   \nRelations for Creative Marketing Resources\, (612) 834-2793\, darryl@cmredge.com

SUMMARY:Urban Heat: How rising temperatures affect U.S. cities
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 22\, at 3:00 p.m. ET  \nDaytime temperatures in cities can be as much as 1 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in nearby rural areas.

SciLine’s next media briefing will cover the basics of urban heat and related weather patterns\, the effects of extreme heat on human health and wellbeing—including disproportionate impacts on low-income populations—and strategies for designing more heat-resilient cities. Three scientific experts will brief reporters\, and then take questions on the record. \nPanelists: Dr. Jaime Madrigano\, RAND Corporation; Dr. Chandana Mitra\, Auburn University; Dr. Vivek Shandas\, Portland State University \nRegister for the briefing…
