SUMMARY:How to amp up your reporting using LexisNexis tools
DESCRIPTION:Top-tier research doesn’t begin and end with a quick check on Google. The best in our business comb the LexisNexis news archives for information and tap its massive database to find potential sources and reach them by phone or email. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn how award-winning journalists conduct deep-dive backgrounding on people and subjects\, how they get names and numbers from LexisNexis’ list of 800 million profiles\, and how they use paywalled content and trade journal expertise to generate story ideas and fresh angles. \n\n\n\nMany public libraries offer a limited version of LexisNexis\, and some news publications make it available to writers. Fortunately\, AHCJ members get discounted access to this robust tool. \n\n\n\nHowever\, you don’t have to be a LexisNexis subscriber to attend or benefit from this webinar. Our expert panelist will share his screen and walk you through this trove of source material. If you are a LexisNexis subscriber\, you can follow along on your own computer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Mantel is AHCJ’s health beat leader for freelancing and has written about subjects such as how to find and keep an accountability partner\, how to tap the rich resources at libraries and how to break into narrative journalism.

The institute also mentors and supports other journalists.Hamilton has been a reporter and editor\, primarily in investigative work\, for 40 years\, during which he created and led the New York Post’s first investigations unit and broke numerous front-page exclusives. His work has appeared in The New York Times\, ABC News\, the Los Angeles Times\, Harper’s\, the Guardian\, Playboy\, the Village Voice and other outlets. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, he heads the Institute for Storycraft and Information Gathering\, a nonprofit foundation that provides writing and reporting guidance for campus journalists and other college students.
