At the core of healthy political and electoral coverage is putting people before politicians, issues before scare quotes, and actionable info ahead of polls. And you. Can. Do. It.
But you have to start changing your coverage now. Don't wait until an election is in full swing.
Next Tuesday, join journalism professor and media critic Jay Rosen along with community-focused reporters Natalie Van Hoozer, Hugo Balta, and Elliot Wade, and host Jaisal N. as they explain the key tenets of richer, more informative, more usable, more trustworthy political coverage.
And as a bonus, this event kicks off a new Massive Open Online Course happening in April, led by Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and SJN. Journalists from anywhere in the world can attend this event and take the course, all completely for free.If you feel like the hamster wheel of political coverage isn't getting the job done, but you need the tools and support to change, this is for you.
Change can be hard. It can be scary. But it's necessary. And there's a world of people here to help you.
