Journalists reporting on the U.S. census or who may use data from the census can enroll in this webinar.
Poynter is offering the webinar, “Census Stories Beyond the Numbers,” as part of its ongoing census training series. This effort is led by Big Local News at Stanford University, Census Reporter at Northwestern University and the Associated Press.
By Aug. 16, the U.S. Census Bureau will release in-depth demographic statistics from the 2020 census. This webinar will help journalists prepare to cover the changing demographics of their communities.
Journalists will learn how to generate story ideas about changing demographics that they can work on right away and over the long term. Journalists will also hear tips from experienced data journalists who have covered multiple decennial census data releases.
The webinar is free and will take place at 2 p.m. on Aug. 11.
