Join Research!America for its annual National Health Research Forum, called”¯“Straight Talk: Fighting Health Threats Faster.” The three-day, virtual forum is designed to engage public discussion with top federal officials, research leaders, and national media on health and R&D-related issues that are vital to the nation, economy, and patients in the U.S. and across the globe. The Center for Health Journalism at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism is sponsoring a fellowship for skilled journalists “who want to learn to mine data sources to reveal key insights essential to high-impact journalism.” Fellows will learn how to acquire, clean, analyze and visualize data from leading data journalists and trainers. Applicants must propose an ambitious investigative or explanatory reporting project. After the training, each fellow will receive a $2,000 grant to support reporting and data acquisition costs. In addition, they will receive expert one-on-one mentoring for six months. This is an excellent opportunity for journalists who want to get started in data journalism. |

It’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. |

These are hands-on, screen–sharing workshops with regular Q&As, and participants are expected to contribute. Available to journalists worldwide, although journalists in the U.S. will have to get up early. The sessions are not recorded.
