America’s 60 million rural residents face distinct pandemic COVID-19 challenges – and those are just the latest in longstanding health challenges for rural populations. Health 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. You don’t have to live in a rural area to write great stories about what’s happening just beyond the city limits. Non-urban populations can play a larger-than-expected role in setting policy and legislation in many states and across the country. Leave with a better understanding of what’s happening – and will be happening – in rural regions to bring more perspective to your stories. This special three-day, no-fee workshop will help you find and cover health stories in rural America. You just need to be an AHCJ member to attend. And after attending, you’ll have special access to recordings for the days and weeks following the workshop.

Never 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. Register 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. |
Everyone should have access to quality health care information so they can make informed decisions. Join AHCJ today for exclusive access to training and education to inform your community.
