Healthcare Reporting Workshop

Tuesday, Oct. 14, 6–9 p.m.
San Francisco Chronicle newspaper offices, 110 5th St., San Francisco

A lively, hands-on workshop that will hone your skills and help you overcome the hurdles of reporting and writing quality healthcare stories despite biased sources and commercial pressures in the health/medical industry. We'll look at recent examples in our local Bay Area print and broadcast media and learn tips and strategies we can use everyday. Our instructors will show that it doesn't take an extra thousand words of type or 10 minutes of air to get the accurate and balanced story you and your editors want – and your readers deserve. Hosted by the Association of Healthcare Journalists, Bay Area chapter.
