SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Worth Bingham Prize for Investigative Journalism
DESCRIPTION:“The $20\,000 Worth Bingham Prize honors investigative reporting of stories of national significance where the public interest is being ill-served. \n“These stories may involve state\, local or national government\, lobbyists or the press itself\, wherever an “atmosphere of easy tolerance” exists\, as journalist Worth Bingham himself once described public misconduct in his reporting on the nation’s capital. \n“The investigative reporting may cover actual violations of the law\, rule or code; lax or ineffective administration or enforcement; or activities that create conflicts of interest\, entail excessive secrecy or otherwise raise questions of propriety.”

SUMMARY:AHCJ Webinar: Building Audience With Local Climate-Health Stories
DESCRIPTION:“Climate change is often covered as a vast\, global crisis\, defined by melting ice sheets\, stalled international agreements and the persistent grip of fossil fuels. What gets far less attention are the local stories unfolding across the country: clinics adapting to wildfire\, counties redesigning emergency response plans for extreme heat\, public health responses to vector-borne diseases and more. \n“These stories reveal what’s working\, who’s innovating and where communities are making progress in protecting public health. For health journalists\, this gap is an opportunity — you just need to know where to look. In this webinar\, we’ll explore strategies\, tools and reporting pathways that can help you find compelling\, community-driven stories at the intersection of climate change and public health.”

SUMMARY:A Conversation on ‘The Cure for Everything’: Where American Public Health Is and Where It’s Headed
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in a century\, American life expectancy is declining\, an unprecedented trend for a wealthy nation and one driven largely by preventable causes of early death. The foundations of public health reforms — sanitation\, clean water\, safe housing\, pollution control\, workplace safety\, and more — doubled America’s life expectancy between the mid-1800s and today.\nBut the nation has now spent a century shifting money and attention away from public health and toward clinical medicine. The pandemic exposed the cost of that shift\, including widening health inequities\, inadequate emergency response coordination\, and erosion of public trust. \nIn her book “The Cure for Everything: The Epic Struggle for Public Health and a Radical Vision for Human Thriving\,” Michelle Williams tells the story of how the U.S. overcame a history of infectious disease\, poisonous environments\, and early death and how it’s still possible to rebalance clinical medicine and public health to prevent hundreds of thousands of annual avoidable premature deaths and improve all Americans’ quality of life. \nIn this webinar\, Williams will talk about key lessons from her book that could inspire lines of investigation for journalists. Linda Marsa\, a health journalist who helped Williams with the book\, will briefly address how that collaboration worked and how journalists can mine the book for story ideas in their communities.

SUMMARY:CASW Connector Chat: Tips and Tools for Investigative Science Reporting
DESCRIPTION:Join CASW Connector for a lively virtual chat with top investigative reporters Charles Piller of Science and Liza Gross of Inside Climate News. \nPiller is the recipient of CASW’s 2025 Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting. His high-impact reporting has led the National Institutes of Health to suspend a clinical trial and raised questions about the role of amyloid proteins in Alzheimer’s disease\, as he detailed in his 2025 book\, Doctored: Fraud\, Arrogance\, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s. \nGross’ reporting focuses on toxics\, environmental health and justice\, and the misuse of science for private gain. She has won several awards and is the author of The Science Writers’ Investigative Reporting Handbook: A Beginner’s Guide to Investigations. \nAt this Connector Chat\, Gross will interview Piller about his Alzheimer’s investigations and the pair will discuss the tools they find useful in their investigative reporting. Gross will also curate a resource list for science journalists interested in pursuing investigative stories. \nCome with questions and with your own suggestions for investigative resources.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Rural Revenue Transformation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“This event is for news\, information and community leaders who are located in and serve rural\, low-income and geographically dispersed communities. This experience is two days of hands-on sessions and collaborative activities to workshop solutions for news and information leaders in rural communities. We know that the revenue tactics that may work for newsrooms who serve large populations often do not work for those who serve small\, low-income\, geographically dispersed communities without access to broadband and other civic infrastructure services. We want to help those serving these communities create transformative and collaborative solutions\, learn from each other and build strategies that will work for their specific needs.” \n\nWhen: April 12–15\, 2026\nWhere: Reynolds Journalism Institute\, Columbia\, Missouri\nIncludes: Lodging\, flight scholarships\, some meals\, follow-up support and more
