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  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/covid-19-health-inequities-addressing-the-disease-burden-in-black-indigenous-poc-communities/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200610T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200610T010000 DTSTAMP:20260405T130302 CREATED:20231103T181450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T153447Z UID:26724-1591750800-1591750800@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:The Road to Immunity During COVID-19: Developing and Distributing a Vaccine DESCRIPTION:June 10\, 2020 | 5:00 – 6:30pm ET \nNational Academy of Medicine webinar \nThis webinar will discuss the road to immunity during COVID-19\, including the basics of vaccine development\, how developing a vaccine for COVID-19 differs from “traditional” vaccine development\, and what actions can be taken now and in the coming months to ensure that our supply chain is ready to manufacture millions of doses of a vaccine. Speakers include: \n\n\nJohn R.

Many lack the financial cushion to stock up on groceries\, or fear risking a trip to the supermarket. Online ordering is a non-starter for those who lack the technology.

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  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/covid-19-impact-on-american-indians-from-sovereign-tribal-nations-to-invisible-urban-communities/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200528T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200528T010000 DTSTAMP:20260405T130302 CREATED:20231103T181251Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T153455Z UID:26718-1590627600-1590627600@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Understanding the path to a COVID-19 vaccine DESCRIPTION: \nResources\n\nRecorded webcast (For a better experience\, choose the Adobe Connect app instead of your browser to view the webcast.)\nTara Haelle presentation\nMaria Elena Bottazzi presentation\nLinks for Reporting on COVID Vaccine\nVaccine Development Terminology\nTypes of vaccines\nAHCJ Core Topic: Coronaviruses/COVID-19\nAHCJ Core Topic: Infectious diseases\n\n \n\nRecorded May 28\nThe race to develop a vaccine against SARS-CoV2\, the virus that causes COVID-19\, is picking up speed.

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.
