Before the Beltway Session Archive
Join NHPR's Lauren Chooljian and editor Alison MacAdam as they share this fascinating journey. They worked together for more than two years. The project wrapped together the challenges of reporting on substance use disorder, sexual misconduct and threats to press freedom and personal safety. Topics will include:
- How they identified their story, amidst the noise.
- Source management
- The editor/reporter relationship
- Managing trauma, with sources and with colleagues
- The ethical conundrum: How they decided to balance the personal angle with the investigation.
- Getting sued: Tips on protecting yourself, colleagues and sources.
This promises to be a "can't miss" opportunity!
