Trans people and DEIB programs are in the crosshairs of state leaders, legislatures, policymakers, and school boards. Journalists must be prepared to report and share the impact of these efforts, as well as how political candidates are using them to influence voters.
What are the key issues at stake and the major themes playing out? What are the most reliable sources of unbiased information? And how can reporters better understand multiple perspectives and the nuanced questions involved?
Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute, with support from the Trans Journalists Association, for a free discussion aimed at answering these questions as well as illuminating best practices for your reporting and editing on transgender and LGBTQ+ issues. This webinar is geared for all journalists, especially those new to the beat, or from small and medium news organizations.
Participants will learn:
– How to responsibly frame journalistic stories to include trans and LGBTQ+ voices
– Questions to ask in the current environment
– How to identify policy and political stories relevant to your audiences, whether they’re local, regional, or national
– How to authentically ensure your sources and LGBTQ+ story subjects feel seen and heard
