SUMMARY:Navigating freelance contracts
DESCRIPTION:Noon CT/1 p.m. ET Thursday\, Oct. 6 \nFreelance contracts can be short\, simple easy-to-understand agreements\, multi-page documents full of legalese or anything in between. They can contain clauses that will cost you money\, take away your future rights to the story\, delay payment and saddle you with legal responsibilities best avoided. \nIn this webinar\, former journalist and media lawyer Charles Glasser will answer your questions about why contracts are important\, language to include and avoid\, and how to negotiate the contract you want. Feel free to bring a contract and ask a specific question that can serve as an example for all attendees. \nView the webcast \nCharles Glasser \nBarbara Mantel \nCharles Glasser spent 12 years as the global media counsel for Bloomberg News\, where he trained more than 2\,200 reporters on legal issues and journalism fundamentals. He is now a private legal consultant and teaches law and ethics for investigative journalism at New York University’s Arthur Carter Journalism Center. \n  \n

Fellowship leaders and mentors will provide support and guidance through seminars\, calls and e-mail consultations. \n\n\n\nCurriculum will include basic science\, interpreting medical studies\, analyzing data\, explaining evidence-based decisions\, understanding climate science and more. \n\n\n\nThe program aspires to provide essential on-the-job training that might otherwise take years to accumulate. \n\n\n\nExpectations\n\n\n\nCandidates should be early-career\, U.S.-based working journalists — either staff or freelance — with at least two years of professional experience. \n\n\n\nFellows will be expected to attend a handful of training events during the program year. Program leaders will decide whether events will take place in person or virtually based on the latest public health considerations\, with fellows’ safety always top of mind. \n\n\n\nEach employer (or\, for a freelancer\, a news outlet that is a regular client) will be asked to provide a letter of recommendation for the applicant. Employers are also asked to pledge their support for the fellows’ participation in all training events. \n\n\n\nBoard members and staffers of the partner organizations are not eligible to apply. \n\n\n\nCASW\, AHCJ\, and SEJ are fully committed to diversity and inclusion in their memberships\, training programs\, and the larger journalism field.

DESCRIPTION:11 a.m. CT/noon ET Thursday\, Oct. 13 \nAgeism is pervasive in our society. And journalists can be as guilty as anyone else of perpetuating ageist tropes. But despite the barrage of negative messages that come at us at home\, at work\, and even at the supermarket\, aging isn’t something sad or depressing that old people do. It’s how we move through life from birth to death; everyone is doing it; and more of us are doing more of it than ever before. \nJoin author and activist Ashton Applewhite as we discuss ageism and how journalists can avoid ageist stereotypes in their reporting and depict aging in accurate and nuanced ways. \nView the webcast \n\n\nOldSchool.info — one-stop go-to for all things ageism-related\, including resources\, tools and language guides \n\n\nYo\, is this Ageist — Ashton’s blog \n\n\nThis Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism\, by Ashton Applewhite \n\n\nBreaking the Age Code How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long and Well You Live\, by Becca Levy\, Ph.D. \n\n\nAshton Applewhite \nLiz Seegert \nAn internationally recognized expert on ageism\, Ashton Applewhite is the author of “This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism” and a co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse.

SUMMARY:2022 Reporting on Violence as a Public Health Issue: An AHCJ Summit
DESCRIPTION:This 1.5-day event will bring together experts and journalists to discuss a wide range of violence and public health topics including: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe groundwork: Everyone knows gun violence is a public health crisis\, so why doesn’t more journalism reflect the reality?\n\n\n\nEverything you think you know about guns is wrong: Myths\, facts and where to find the best research and data\n\n\n\nExtreme risk protection orders and “red flag” laws: What reporters should know\n\n\n\nThe health effects of exposure to chronic violence\, especially among children\, and the prevalence of indirect exposure to violence\n\n\n\nAccess to guns and how poor human risk perception plays into gun ownership\n\n\n\nThe role of clinicians in addressing community violence\n\n\n\nWhat’s happening with hospital-based and other violence intervention programs\n\n\n\nTransforming news coverage of gun violence\n\n\n\nReporting with humanity from “walk-through” to publication\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on a field trip to one of Chicago’s busiest trauma centers where you’ll meet with trauma surgeons\, violence recovery specialists and others who care for patients of all ages who’ve been affected by intentional violence. \n\n\n\nThis year marks the first time since 2019\, when AHCJ welcomed 102 people in Los Angeles\, that the organization has hosted its fall summit in person. \n\n\n\n“Our aim is to more firmly connect violence to public health and help reframe the stories we tend to see in relation to gun violence\, which receive a lot of attention in the breaking news phase and too rarely explore the upstream causes\, long-lasting impact\, or interventions\,” said Katherine Reed\, AHCJ’s interim executive director\, and director of engagement and content. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHOSTS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSORS
