| DEADLINE THIS WEEK! Midterm Essentials – Pennsylvania |
In-person workshop, Philadelphia, July 28
Ask more informed questions and demand more solid answers about five complex issues facing America in the 2022 midterm election cycle: climate, disinformation, the economy, immigration and health care.
Our teaching team includes a top expert on health care who testifies before Congress, a Pulitzer Prize-winning immigration reporter and a climate expert from Climate Central. These won’t be stale lectures but instead will be tailored to journalists seeking context and clarity on behalf of their communities. You'll learn how to analyze the veracity and impact of candidates’ talking points and policy proposals and develop skills to detect political disinformation.
🇺🇸 Can't join us in Philly? Sign up for this workshop in Arizona, Wisconsin, Ohio or Florida.
Apply by Thursday, June 30.
Cost: Free, thanks to the Google News Initiative. |
