Topic
Public Health Journalism: Covering public health policy in the current political landscape
Date & Time

Selected Sessions:

Mar 25, 2025 12:00 PM

Description
The Trump administration has already had a significant impact on how the U.S. implements public health policies domestically and on a global scale. The president temporarily paused health-related communications from several federal agencies, has withdrawn the U.S. from the World Health Organization, and made moves to halt federal spending for scientific research. And Robert F Kennedy Jr., now the nation’s top health official as the Health and Human Services Secretary, has spread ideas that have concerned health experts. These actions present new challenges for journalists covering public health policy, especially as some traditional sources of vital information have become unavailable in wide swaths or made more difficult to access. Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent at KFF Health News, will share advice to adapt to this shifting environment while discovering innovative ways to tell critical public health stories. Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute at noon ET on Tuesday, March 25. This program is part of the Institute’s inaugural Public Health Reporting Fellowship, funded by the Common Health Coalition. It's being opened to the public at no cost.
