What’s Next in Health Journalism?

"In this episode of Voices in African Health, host Sharon Quntai speaks with Sheriff Bojang, Deputy Political Editor at The Africa Report, and Ben Deighton, President of the World Federation of Science Journalists, about what comes next for health journalism in Africa. This discussion builds on the launch of the Africa Health Media Trends Report, which brought together insights from African journalists across the continent. The conversation reflects on the realities shaping health reporting today, from funding pressures and shifting global health priorities to the growing focus on issues like non-communicable diseases, mental health, and health financing. It also explores how journalists can better balance data with human-centered storytelling, and why continued collaboration between the media, health experts, and communicators is essential to ensure health stories are told accurately, responsibly, and in ways that truly connect with audiences."

Data Journalism: Reporting Where Climate and Health Meet

"In this webinar, Climate Central and SciLine walked journalists through the tools and skills needed to report accurately and confidently when climate and health overlap. Journalists learned how to find climate and health data, key terminology, where to find the right experts, and how to tell familiar stories in a way that centers the communities most affected by climate change and its health impacts. We also looked at real newsroom examples of health reporting built on these tools and skills, so you can see firsthand what kinds of questions the data can help answer and how it fits into timely storytelling. You’ll walk away from this session with story ideas, paired with graphics, toolkits, and expert resources to support your reporting."
