NHPR and the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Service at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law will host NPR’s Leila Fadel, NPR’s co-host of Morning Edition and NPR’s morning news podcast Up First, as the next speaker in the Justice & Journalism series.

Leading the conversation with Fadel is NHPR’s Youth and Education Reporter Annmarie Timmins.

Leila Fadel is a national correspondent for NPR, known for her compelling and impactful reporting. Previously, she served as an international correspondent based in Cairo, where she covered the uprisings in the Middle East. Fadel’s in-depth coverage of the fall of Mosul and the rise of ISIS in 2014 highlighted the harrowing stories of Yazidi women who were kidnapped and enslaved. Her work has earned widespread recognition, including the prestigious Lowell Thomas Award from the Overseas Press Club for her courageous reporting on the 2013 coup in Egypt. Through her reporting, Fadel educates the nation and sheds light on some of the world’s most urgent issues.

The Justice & Journalism series brings nationally renowned journalists to the Rudman Center for engaging conversations on public affairs and the public servants who create, implement, and influence public policy. The series is a joint initiative of NHPR and the Rudman Center, made possible by the generous support of the Couch Family Foundation.

Public Health Journalism: How community health workers can be the key to your reporting
Apr 29 @ 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm

When reporting on sensitive public health issues, it can be difficult to find a way into the communities you’re covering. Often, the best way to learn what’s at stake is to connect with community health workers who are on the frontlines of local issues, have earned the trust of those they serve, and can act as a liaison to potential sources.

Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute from noon to 12:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, April 29 for journalists to learn to engage community health workers while respecting privacy issues that may arise in their work.

This program is part of the Institute’s inaugural Public Health Reporting Fellowship, funded by the Common Health Coalition. It’s being opened to the public at no cost.

How to price and package digital advertising and sponsored content in 2025
May 21 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

In this free webinar, you’ll learn:
– How much your digital advertising should cost
– How to sell digital for real money, not “digital dimes”
– How to build packages for mom/pops AND $100k whales

DON’T fall into the trap of:
– Thinking that your site traffic needs to dictate pricing
– Looking at other publishers to figure out your pricing (they’re probably as confused as you are)
– Underselling and underpricing the real value that you provide

Hosted by Kenny Katzgrau, Publisher of Red Bank Green and creator of Broadstreet. Joining him will be Charity Huff, Publisher of 5280 Magazine and owner of January Spring.

You’ll walk away from this workshop with a clear plan to figure what you should be charging for your display, newsletter, and sponsored content packages along and gain rock-solid confidence in the result.
