SUMMARY:Media Briefing: Data Center Planning — Municipal\, Utility and Community Considerations

SUMMARY:Covering the Conflagration: Reporting From the Wildfire Frontiers
DESCRIPTION:“Wildfires are becoming not only annual events but also unmistakable signs of the broader climate emergency—scorching forests\, forcing evacuations\, disrupting ecosystems\, and crossing borders. Covering the Conflagration brings together journalists who report directly from these frontlines\, capturing both the immediate dangers and the longer-term consequences of fire. \n“Jesse Winter\, Visual Journalist and recipient of the 2024 CJF Edward Burtynsky Award for Climate Photojournalism; Nancy MacDonald\, National Reporter for The Globe and Mail and Colleen Hagerty of the Solutions Journalism Network’s My World’s on Fire project will discuss what it takes to cover these events. From documenting communities forced to flee\, to tracking smoke and fire across provinces and borders\, to reporting on the ecological and social ripple effects of increasingly intense fire seasons\, the panel will explore the practical\, ethical\, and emotional dimensions of wildfire journalism. \n“Through stories from the field\, investigative reporting\, and visual storytelling\, this discussion will reveal how journalists bear witness to disasters that are immediate\, borderless\, and deeply intertwined with the unfolding climate crisis.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Firearm Violence Reporting Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:“Gun violence is more than fodder for political debate — it’s a public health crisis with far-reaching consequences. AHCJ’s Firearm Violence Reporting Fellowship\, supported by The Joyce Foundation\, offers journalists the time\, mentoring\, and resources to uncover the complexities of firearm violence and bring critical stories to light. \n“Open to mid-career journalists\, the fellowship offers the opportunity to pursue an in-depth reporting project over a 9-month period while maintaining regular employment. You’ll pursue a project with the support of your newsroom or a pre-arranged outlet that commits to publishing or airing your work. \n“Four journalists will pursue projects that dive deeply into critical components such as policy impacts\, societal consequences\, preventive strategies\, research and health care responses to firearm-related injuries and deaths. \n“The fellowship covers the cost of attending AHCJ’s annual conference and an in-person seminar in Chicago\, as well as a $2\,500 project allowance to defray the cost of field reporting\, health data analysis and other project-related research. In addition\, fellows will receive a $5\,000 award upon the successful completion of the project. \n“Candidates should be U.S.-based\, working journalists who qualify for AHCJ professional membership\, have at least five years’ experience in health or crime/courts reporting\, and be based in one of the following states: Illinois\, Indiana\, Michigan\, Minnesota\, Ohio or Wisconsin.”

SUMMARY:The Hidden Toll: Reporting on Youth Autism and Mental Health in the Misinformation Age
DESCRIPTION:“Autism is in the national spotlight. Diagnoses have risen steadily in recent decades\, and the appointment of RFK Jr. as health secretary ushered in fresh scrutiny and misinformation on the condition at the highest levels of government.

In this [USC Annenberg/Center for Health Journalism] webinar\, we’ll delve into new in-depth reporting that is bringing fresh attention to the mental health challenges of growing up with autism\, discuss ways to counter growing misinformation about the disorder\, and provide reporting guidelines that will help journalists rigorously evaluate the evidence behind new claims and treatments.”
