Next Week: National Press Club Panel; Workshops with the Markkula Center

As the events of January 6 and its aftermath continue to come into focus, our industry must take the opportunity, however brief, to step back and apply its lessons to the days ahead. To that end, Reframe is teaming up with the National Press Club and Anita Varma of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics next week for events that address the moment.

We hope you'll take the time to join us for these important conversations at a critical moment for journalists, and for the communities we serve.

Covering Insurrection: News Frames, Word Choice, & Deciding Whose Story to Tell

What happened on January 6, 2021? A protest, a riot, an insurrection, an attempted coup? How might journalists best navigate this new moment of uncertainty and heightened fear across the country? Join us for an interactive workshop on covering insurrection and more. Led by Anita Varma of the Solidarity Journalism Initiative, Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and Aubrey Nagle, Reframe editor. Journalists, editors, journalism students, journalism educators are all welcome.

Sessions available Monday, January 18, Tuesday, January 19, and Friday, January 22.

Getting it Right: Breaking News, the Inauguration, and the Capitol Insurrection

Newsrooms mobilize on instinct when news breaks. Those split-second decisions — how we describe an individual or a group and their actions — can define reality for millions of people. The Capitol insurrection provides lessons for the upcoming Inauguration in what loaded language to avoid, questions to ask in real-time, and how your values influence the way audiences understand and remember world events.

The panel will feature: Eric Deggans, NPR TV critic, MSNBC/NBC commentator and author of “Race-Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide a Nation”; Danielle K. Kilgo, the John & Elizabeth Bates Cowles Professor of Journalism, Diversity and Equality in the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities; Michael McCarter, managing editor for standards, ethics & inclusion at USA Today; Aubrey Nagle, Reframe editor at Resolve Philly. The program will be moderated by Cassie Haynes, co-executive director of Resolve Philly.

Panel begins Tuesday, January 19 at 11:30 a.m. ET
