Redistricting and Elections

Webinar, Nov. 17 at noon Eastern

Redistricting is a once-a-decade process that varies by state, inspires political, civic and legal action, and fundamentally determines how power is distributed in the United States. Part of Poynter’straining series on the 2020 census ([link removed]) , this webinar will help journalists report on redistricting and its impact for years to come.

PolitiFact editor-in-chief Angie Drobnic Holan and PolitiFact senior correspondent Louis Jacobson will guide you through this session. Panelists include Ally Mutnick ([link removed]) , House campaigns reporter at Politico; Olga Pierce ([link removed]) , professor at University of Nebraska-Lincoln; David Wasserman ([link removed]) , senior editor at The Cook Political Report; Benjamin Williams ([link removed]) , program principal at the National Conference of State Legislatures; and Janet Williams ([link removed]) , journalist, writer and editor.

Trans in Sport
Webinar, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. Eastern
During the 2021 legislative session, seven states passed laws that restrict transgender athletes’ ability to participate on sports teams that match their gender identity; dozens more states introduced similar bills in 2021 that didn’t pass.

At the center of public — and often vitriolic — debate around such laws are kids, families, athletic clubs and schools. This webinar, featuring award-winning ESPN reporter Katie Barnes ([link removed] Barnes (they/them)) , will teach journalists how to thoughtfully, accurately and ethically report stories about gender and sports on the local level.
Cost: Free, thanks to support from the Gill Foundation.
