On the @PowerShiftPro webinar right now, @JillGeisler asks NASW President @SiriCarpenter about dealing with disinformation. "Give voice to the experts who can refute that information." NASW shared this #COVID19 advice early on in our March 2nd tipsheet: nasw.org/COVID19tips
Re @PowerShiftPro webinar convo on science disinformation during #COVID19, you can also check out this @MotherJones interview with NASW Pres @SiriCarpenter and Past Pres @LauraHelmuth on how to "think like a science journalist": motherjones.com/media/2020/03/…
Fantastic discussion happening RIGHT NOW hosted by @PowerShiftPro @JillGeisler. The #COVID19 roundtable org leaders include @SiriCarpenter @TinsleyHD @meagham @Meeratweets @QuillenKim @felicejfreyer and more: freedomforum.org/event/covid-19…
The @JillGeisler @SiriCarpenter convo right now: Reporters are struggling with how to cover #COVID19 science that has NOT been published in peer-reviewed journals. "Preprint" needs to enter journalistic lexicon. (Journos new to sci beat can join us here: nasw.org/COVIDlist)
"Asking questions that are specific enough" is important when interviewing scientist-experts or politicians, reminds NASW Pres @SiriCarpenter during @PowerShiftPro #COVID19 webinar. We invite journos new to sci beat to join us here: nasw.org/COVIDlist
Knowledge of "statistics is very useful" right, now reminds NASW Executive Director @TinsleyHD for student and veteran journalists alike covering #COVID19 on today's webinar hosted by @PowerShiftPro. More reporting resources here: nasw.org/COVID19Resourc…
NASW ED @TinsleyHD also reminds that "stories that local reporters are able to tell" are so important for #COVID19. Locals can leverage network of #DiverseSources, underrepresented voices—huge value to national outlets. (Tip: Editors can use our nasw.org/find-writer database!)
