If journalists want our coverage to aid in civil discourse and civic engagement. We need journalists to commit to producing coverage seen as fair and even-handed by news seekers across the political spectrum — and for people who are not engaged at all.
In this training series, Trusting News focuses on quick, actionable steps journalists can take ahead of the 2024 election to help coverage feel credible and accessible to a larger audience.
Here’s what you can expect: In each session, we’ll spend 45 minutes focusing on how journalists can take action. We’ll include perspectives from partner journalists and show examples of how they’ve implemented these strategies in their newsrooms. Then we invite you to stick around for another 15 minutes if you have questions or want help brainstorming.
Register here and you’ll get access to all of the webinars, but feel free to pick and choose the sessions that feel most helpful for your work. Learn more about each webinar here.
