Trainings
Reporting on Addiction offers training for both journalists themselves and the people working in addiction spaces who want to improve media coverage but may not know where to start.
Our trainings are for:
Professional and student journalists
We provide newsroom level trainings that discuss the latest in addiction science, how stigma can unintentionally appear in our reporting, and how to use our resources to improve your stories. These customized training sessions and webinars meet your needs in a given city, state or region.

You’ll come away with a basic understanding of how journalists do their jobs, best practices for interacting with the media, and how to cultivate relationships with journalists in your community to improve coverage today and into the future.
