Journalist Workshop: Incorporating science into every story (Thu, May 07, 2026)

Thu, 07 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

“Every story is a science story.” Join the Trans Journalists Association and trainers from The Open Notebook (TON) on Thursday, May 7th at 12PM PT (2PM CT / 3PM ET) for an interactive workshop on incorporating science into any beat.

Explore the Science Reporting Navigator to incorporate scientific evidence, perspectives or context into your work, even when on deadline. In this hour-long workshop, participants will spend half an hour learning how to use the Science Reporting Navigator as a reporting tool and half an hour workshopping ideas and stories to turn into successful pitches.

This event is open to the public. A recording and workshop materials will be shared with TJA members following the session.
