SUMMARY:Climate Journalism: Free Online Course on Investigative Reporting for Every Beat
DESCRIPTION:“Climate change now runs through every reporting beat\, from energy and politics to food systems\, health and local news\, making it one of the most complex stories journalists can investigate today. \n“Yet\, despite its reach\, it remains one of the most challenging topics to cover\, especially when it comes to following power\, money and accountability across systems and borders. \n“To tackle this growing issue\, the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) have joined forces to offer a new free online course: ‘Climate journalism: investigative reporting for every beat.’ The course will run from June 1 to June 28\, 2026\, and is offered in English and Spanish.”

SUMMARY:Invasive Annual Grass Journalist Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“By many standards\, invasive annual grasses and rangeland fires are the most significant threats to western landscapes. Land managers and conservationists are racing to implement effective treatments to get ahead of this massive land health issue before it becomes insurmountable due to scale and cost. The Intermountain West Joint Venture is hosting an event for journalists to make a deep dive into this complex issue. \n“This workshop will be a fully on-the-record opportunity for journalists to learn from speakers\, ask questions\, collect imagery\, and have hands-on experiences. We hope all participants will build a strong understanding of the topics to be able to report effectively on them and grow the base of people they can reach out to on these natural resource issues.” \n\nWhere: Thermopolis\, Wyoming. A limited number of travel scholarships are available to support transportation and lodging.

SUMMARY:SWCC In-Person Workshop: Moderating for Impact
DESCRIPTION:“Science writers and communicators are often asked to drive discussions by moderating or sitting on panels in a variety of professional and public venues. How they perform these roles has a big impact on how audiences contextualize important issues and these are roles of increasing importance given the current geopolitical climate. Additionally\, acting in these roles can be an important source of income and professional experience. Despite this\, there is little training for journalists and science communicators on how to maximize the impacts of these experiences for audiences and moderators. Consequently\, panel events often fall into predictable patterns: a mic passed up and down a role of panelists\, a lack of on-stage chemistry\, awkward and sometimes uncomfortable inequity of air time\, and a missed opportunity for everyone. \n“But it doesn’t have to be this way! Dynamic\, inclusive\, entertaining experiences can help tell meaningful\, memorable stories. Effective hosting is a performance that requires artful preparation\, creativity and engagement\, augmenting and managing a well-chosen format and structure. In addition to teaching basic moderation and facilitation skills\, this workshop will help science communications and media professionals hone their hosting skills by tackling pre-event preparation\, dynamic event formats\, stage-presence\, on-stage and virtual interviewing\, participant management and audience engagement. Participants will by guided through improvisational techniques to create and experiment with a variety of panel and other moderated formats in a safe\, innovation-friendly environment. We’ll develop a vocabulary for managing on stage conversations and use role playing scenarios to try out different styles and techniques in a low-stakes collaborative and supportive environment.” \n\nWhere: Montreal\, Quebec\nCost: TBD\n\nRegistration opens soon.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: EJN Workshop on Covering Ocean Science and Deep-Sea Exploration for Brazilian Journalists
DESCRIPTION:“Few people realize that humanity has only visually documented an area of the seafloor roughly equivalent to the size of the São Paulo metropolitan area—the vast majority of the ocean floor remains unmapped\, unexplored and unknown. But deep sea ecosystems are critical to global biodiversity\, carbon storage and climate regulation\, and are increasingly threatened by human activity such as deep-sea mining and ocean trawling. A map in the same report referenced above shows how little of the seafloor off Brazil’s own coast has been visually documented\, underscoring the scale of the opportunity and the urgency of building public and political awareness. \n“With support from the Schmidt Ocean Institute\, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is pleased to announce an in-person three-day workshop opportunity for up to 10 Brazilian journalists to enhance their reporting on topics related to ocean science\, marine biodiversity and deep-sea exploration. \n“Selected participants will travel to Fortaleza\, Brazil\, to attend the workshop which will take place from September 14-16…. For participants based outside the Fortaleza area\, EJN will cover non-refundable economy-class airfare\, accommodation\, meals\, travel medical insurance and ground transportation costs related to workshop participation. Participants based in the Fortaleza area will receive modest per diem to cover their daily travel costs.”

SUMMARY:AI Spotlight Series Workshop: Investigating Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:“In this online training\, we’ll cover the basics of data centers and finding information and sources for data center investigations. \n“Former AI Accountability Fellows Pablo Jiménez Arandia and Laís Martins\, in collaboration with lead curriculum designer Karen Hao\, have drawn on their own reporting to develop a framework for data center reporting. In this workshop you will learn approaches to assessing the impact of AI infrastructure across stages of development\, reporting beats\, and geographies. \n“We’ll also review core concepts from the AI Spotlight Series Curriculum\, including what AI is\, how it works\, and a framework to identify critical stories and highlight the technology’s impacts.”

SUMMARY:Uncovering AI’s Human Cost: A Non Technical Toolkit for Investigative Reporters
DESCRIPTION:“Holding AI systems accountable can seem overwhelming due to the complexity of the technology. But not all investigations into AI require a high level of technical ability. Countless stories about AI are first and foremost about people—those who make the technology\, those who deploy it and\, perhaps most importantly\, those who are harmed by it. \n“In this workshop organized by the Pulitzer Center and GIJN\, participants will be introduced to a framework that breaks down each development stage of AI into an area of coverage and learn about how they can find and report stories within each one. Students will walk away with methods and approaches on how to tackle their own AI accountability stories and learn from low-tech examples that yielded high impacts.”
