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.

SUMMARY:What journalists need to know about research integrity
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday | June 30\, 2021 | 11 a.m. ET (4 p.m. GMT)  \nREGISTER NOW! \nNever has it been more important to foster trust in scientific evidence than in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Over the past year\, journalists have served as the key link between the experts and the public person\, explaining scientific studies on COVID-19 in near real-time. Just as science has helped solve issues related to the pandemic\, it remains of pressing importance to address a host of global challenges in health\, as well as climate change and social injustice. And with an ever-increasing amount of misinformation\, arming journalists with access to reliable resources – and the skills to challenge bad science – is vital. \nRegister today to hear experts from Cochrane and Wiley discuss the importance of research integrity and ways in which these organizations ensure scientific evidence is accurate\, transparent and trustworthy. Journalists who attend this complimentary webinar will: \n\nLearn how to spot bad science\nHear about steps publishers take to safeguard the scientific record\nFind out which questions are most effective to authenticate and interpret study data\nDiscover what technology is used to validate research content\nUnderstand the impact of bias and need for diversity in research studies\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION INFORMATION”¯  \nJournalists may register for this complimentary Science Talks webinar HERE.  \nIf you are not able to attend the live one-hour session\, the webinar will be recorded for later viewing. \n

SUMMARY:Rural Health Journalism Workshop 2021
DESCRIPTION:Spotlight speaker:\nU.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack\n\n\n\nAmerica’s 60 million rural residents face distinct pandemic COVID-19 challenges – and those are just the latest in longstanding health challenges for rural populations. \n\n\n\nHealth journalists will find story after story during the virtual Rural Health Journalism Workshop June 21-23. The easy-access workshop will bring journalists together with health care and policy experts who focus on the medical needs\, and how they differ\, in rural areas. \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to live in a rural area to write great stories about what’s happening just beyond the city limits.

Leave with a better understanding of what’s happening – and will be happening – in rural regions to bring more perspective to your stories. \n\n\n\nThis special three-day\, no-fee workshop will help you find and cover health stories in rural America.
