These are not ordinary times. The volume of misinformation, misleading claims and biased language entering the national conversation has reached a fever pitch. The problem is compounded by today’s rapid news cycle, in which accuracy and context can’t wait. To meet this challenge, journalists increasingly need to fact-check and contextualize claims in real time — whether during live hearings or breaking news events.
In this webinar, we’ll share some practical strategies for anticipating misinformation and countering harmful tropes without slowing down your coverage. For instance, savvy reporters might develop a well of “publish ready” copy they can plug into their stories that follows a questionable claim with the best available evidence.
Attendees will also learn how to recognize coded language and dehumanizing or racist tropes in the moment — and how to journalistically respond in a politically charged environment. We’ll share tools, workflows and ethical considerations to help you deliver speed and rigor on crucial health equity coverage under pressure.
