What are the global health issues that aren鈥檛 getting enough attention? How can journalism shine a light on global health issues, and how can students use journalism skills to communicate global health issues in ways that get people invested?

Now open to grad students!

Students will explore these questions as part of a 1.5 day (January 17th, 4-8PM and 18th, 9AM-3PM), interactive workshop led by education staff from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and professional journalists聽, Senior Editor at the Pulitzer Center, and , Pulitzer Center grantee, who have used diverse media to report on underreported global health issues for the world鈥檚 leading publications.

Day 1 (January 17^th 4-8PM) will guide students in a reflection on the public health issues of most concern to them, and an exploration of award-winning global health reporting supported by the Pulitzer Center. Participants will connect directly with journalists to evaluate methods for communicating difficult scientific concepts, dense data sets and a seemingly endless cast of stakeholders in ways that connect with the general public.

Then day 2 (January 18^th 9AM-3PM), students will work directly with journalists to create plans for using journalism skills to communicate a global health issue that most concerns them.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to...

1. Describe how journalists apply diverse storytelling skills to communicate global health issues
2. Create plans for identifying and researching underreported global health stories that interest them
3. Apply journalistic strategies to communicate global health issues in ways that engage diverse audiences
