The Trump administration has already had a significant impact on how the U.S. implements public health policies domestically and on a global scale. The president temporarily paused health-related communications from several federal agencies, has frozen foreign aid, and attempted to halt federal spending for public health research. And the Senate confirmed Robert F Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary.
These actions present new challenges for journalists covering public health policy, especially as some traditional sources of vital information have become unavailable in wide swaths or made more difficult to access.
Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute from noon to 12:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, March 25 to learn how to adapt to this new environment and innovative ways to tell critical public health stories.
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.
