As we approach the 2020 presidential election amid a public health crisis and ongoing civil unrest, reporters must be able to navigate a media landscape filled with misinformation and polarization.

We’ve created a four-part email series that highlights four key skills for doing so. In four short emails sent over the course of a month, you’ll learn tips to:

avoid amplifying lies and misleading claims in your reporting
handle quotes that haven’t been verified
identify misinformation around breaking news and thwart attempts at media manipulation
make stories less polarizing.

This email series is based on the American Press Institute report “Getting it Right: Strategies for truth-telling in a time of misinformation and polarization.”
