🔥Reporting on Alcohol

Hi!

Join us for a lunch and learn with STAT News Reporters Isabella Cueto (Chronic Disease Reporter) and Lev Facher (Addiction Reporter) as we explore their ongoing series about alcohol: The Deadliest Drug.

They have been hitting this topic from all angles, and we're excited to have them share what they learned. This 30-minute, online conversation is designed to create community among reporters covering these topics and to help journalists take on these difficult but essential stories.

During the discussion we'll cover: why they thought it was important to cover alcohol, how they got the editor on board, how they approached the stories, how they carved up stories, and tips/tricks for other reporters looking to cover this alcohol.

We hope you'll join us!
