The Aging Beat Reporting Workshop

Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY is accepting applications for a three-day intensive Reporting Workshop: The Aging Beat. Its second annual in-person reporting workshop will take place May 4-6 in New York.

As part of the application process, journalists must propose a story or series of stories about aging that they intend to tackle. They must indicate what kinds of data sources they intend to use to pursue the story. Each participant will be paired with an experienced journalist on the aging beat, who will help them refine their pitch and move their story toward publication. The mentorship will take place in remote sessions, beginning in early May and extending for six months afterward.
