SUMMARY:Webinar: Disappearing Data and How Reporters Can Respond
DESCRIPTION:“The federal government is diminishing the nation’s capacity to authoritatively measure the health and well-being of Americans in real time. Layoffs have shuttered entire data collection teams in health agencies. Dozens of experts at the Centers for Disease Control were shown the door just as they were wrapping up detailed national surveys on HIV. And the administration shut down the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System\, a vital source of data on health behaviors before and after childbirth despite an ongoing maternal mortality crisis. Such developments threaten the ability of policymakers and health officials to make urgent health policy decisions guided by the best data and evidence available. It also makes it harder for journalists to hold officials accountable for the success or failure of policy decisions as documented in the data. In this webinar\, we’ll review the new holes in the federal data landscape and discuss potential strategies for reporters looking to ground stories on a firm foundation of data and facts.” \nWhen: 10-11 a.m. PDT

SUMMARY:From Big Picture to Local Story: Reporting on the Impact of the Megabill
DESCRIPTION:“The 2026 budget act signed into law on July 4 will impact the health of millions of Americans — especially those on Medicaid and other safety net programs including SNAP. How can journalists wrap their arms around these massive changes? \n“Panelists will highlight what aspects journalists should pay close attention to right now and how to use the power of storytelling to make these coming changes real for audiences.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Metcalf Institute's Climate Ready Newsroom Fellowship for Local Journalism
DESCRIPTION:“We’re now welcoming applications for the second cohort of our Climate Ready Newsroom fellowship (formerly known as the Climate and Environmental Science Fellowship for Local Journalism)\, a groundbreaking initiative designed to support local newsrooms in their efforts to report on the science of climate and environmental change. This cohort will focus on newsrooms in Connecticut\, Maine\, Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, Rhode Island\, and Vermont. \n“The fellowship includes six virtual training sessions on topics such as scientific uncertainty\, climate attribution science\, community engagement\, and translating academic research. Following the training\, each newsroom will receive three months of coaching from Metcalf’s journalism experts to help set\, work toward\, and achieve goals in line with a project aimed at advancing their ‘climate readiness.’ This comprehensive support allows newsrooms to step back from the daily grind\, take in training at their pace\, and strategically strengthen their climate coverage over time. \n“Each participating newsroom will receive a $1\,000 stipend to support a named fellow who will help embed the training within the newsroom.”

SUMMARY:ASC Webinar: Science Engagement With People of Faith
DESCRIPTION:“More than 7 in 10 U.S. adults claim a religious affiliation. In STEM fields however\, faith is often thought to be a source of tension. The U.S. public views scientists as mostly trustworthy in their areas of expertise\, but also as hostile or indifferent to faith. Additionally\, many scientists of faith are quiet about their religious identity\, fearing derision or discrimination. Our workshop highlights faith as an important aspect of identity that should be specifically considered in science engagement.” \nLocation: Zoom

SUMMARY:AI Chatbots and Mental Health: How To Report Responsibly on a New Risk
DESCRIPTION:“Artificial intelligence-powered chatbots can provide round-the-clock access to supportive ‘conversations\,’ which some people are using as a substitute for interactions with licensed mental health clinicians or friends. But users may develop dependencies on the tools and mistake these transactions for real relationships with people or true therapy. Recent news stories have discussed the dangers of chatbots’ fabricated\, supportive nature. In some incidents\, people developed AI-related psychosis or were supported in their plans to commit suicide. \n“What is it about this technology that sucks people in? Who is at risk? How can you report on these conditions sensitively? Join moderator Karen Blum and an expert panel\, including psychiatrists John Torous\, M.D. (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center); Keith Sakata\, M.D. (UC San Francisco)\, and Mashable Senior Reporter Rebecca Ruiz\, to learn more.”
