As abortion access continues to lead the news, Poynter is here to help journalists navigate the complex topic with nuance and context.
I recommend you start with Doris Truong's tips for ensuring diverse viewpoints in abortion coverage ([link removed]) and Al Tompkins' overview of FDA-approved abortion pills ([link removed]) . Leaders, I recommend revisiting Kelly McBride's article from May about reframing both "abortion coverage and the worn-out debate around the rules of objectivity and subjectivity ([link removed]) ."
