NEFAC 30 Minute Skills: Copyright Law 102
Nov 14 @ 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm

Copyright law can be a complex and nuanced area for journalists and non-journalists alike. Questions of ownership, fair use and other intellectual property concerns are especially relevant to newsgathering as more information is found through social media and other online sources. This is the second of two classes introducing copyright law and suggesting best practices.

By attending this class, you’ll learn:
– How to know if fair use may allow the reproduction of a creative work.
– Good practices when republishing content found on social media.
– Emerging copyright issues such as the use of AI.

The 30 Minute Skills program is presented by the New England First Amendment Coalition. The goal of the program is to provide reporters and other citizens with knowledge they can use immediately in newsgathering, data collection, storytelling, and other areas of journalism and First Amendment law.

The lessons are provided in a 30-minute format to accommodate the demanding schedules faced by many working in New England newsrooms. The program is free and open to the public. Registration for each lesson is required.

Trump’s Return: What Comes Next for Health Care?
Nov 21 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Donald Trump’s return to power will usher in major changes to the country’s health policies, social safety net, and the federal agencies that oversee many of these programs. As the 47th president, Trump said he will let ally Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild on health; I’m going to let him go wild on the food; I’m going to let him go wild on medicine.” What will that wildness entail? More specific conservative proposals have called for gutting LGBTQ health programs, clamping down on reproductive care and access to abortion pills, and imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients. In this webinar, we’ll bring together some of the nation’s most insightful health policy journalists for an informative discussion on where we go from here. What are we likely to see early on in a second Trump presidency, who will lead these efforts, and how these policy shifts impact vulnerable Americans? Join us for timely insights that can guide your coverage as we look ahead from this tumultuous moment in American politics.

This free webinar is presented by the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism and made possible by the Commonwealth Fund and The California Endowment.
