Reporting on COVID-19 Vaccines at the Intersection of Science and Politics
2021
Journalists play a vital role in communicating to the public about COVID-19 vaccines, and currently under challenging circumstances. The science surrounding COVID-19 is rapidly changing, vaccines have been developed at “warp speed” using a new approach, and misinformation is on the rise. Moreover, current and historical injustices and inequities, as well as heightened political polarization, affect what information is consumed, trusted, and acted upon. This webinar offers an opportunity for members of the media to learn about the stories and challenges to anticipate related to COVID-19 vaccines, and to learn how to apply the latest insights from the social sciences and seasoned science journalists to their craft.
