Details:
The election also represents a decisive moment for journalism, facing a public confidence crisis of its own. To help meet the challenge, the National Press Foundation will hold a training conference in Detroit, Michigan, July 28-30. This three-day training will be a deep dive on covering elections themselves, not horse-race politics.
NPF has assembled a team of expert speakers and instructors to help prepare journalists for what promises to be one of the most taxing election cycles in history, providing lessons learned from key battlegrounds, such as Michigan. Topics include:
- Election infrastructure
- Election safety and security
- Voting rights and changes in voting laws
- Ranked choice voting
- Voter disinformation
- Lessons learned from 2020
NPF offers this professional development opportunity for journalists to enhance skills, increase knowledge and recharge their reporting. The foundation will cover airfare, hotel costs and most meals.
CriteriaÂ
- Attendance is mandatory for all sessions, and editors must commit to freeing their reporters from daily news obligations during the conference. This is a competitive program open to U.S. journalists only.
- NPF greatly value diversity in all the programs and particularly seek applications from local and nonprofit news organizations, Black, Indigenous and other journalists of color; and those who do public interest reporting in undercovered areas.
