The volume of misinformation, misleading claims and biased language entering the national conversation has reached a fever pitch. To meet this moment, journalists increasingly need to fact-check and contextualize claims in real time — whether during live hearings or breaking news events. In this webinar, viewers will learn:


Practical strategies for anticipating misinformation and countering harmful tropes without slowing down coverage.


➜ How to recognize coded language and dehumanizing or racist tropes in the moment — and how to respond journalistically in a politically charged environment.


Tools, workflows and ethical considerations to help deliver speed and rigor on crucial health topics under pressure.
