Join the New York Financial Writers' Association for a webinar looking at how four leading financial journalists are covering the Covid-19 pandemic. This will be a low-key, hour-long discussion with lots of opportunities for audience participation.
The panelists:
Jeanna Smialek, Fed and economy reporter for The New York Times
Drew Armstrong, team leader for U.S. healthcare for Bloomberg News
The New York Financial Writers' Association stands with staff of The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and The Washington Post in opposing China's decision to expel their reporters during a time of unprecedented need for free and unbiased coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. When governments interfere with a free press, the people lose.
Health care is nearly 18% of the U.S. economy and how to pay for it is one of the top issues in the 2020 race for president. Every financial journalist needs to know how the system works, or doesn't work. This informative session will dig into the facts and choices underlying slogans such as Medicare for All and Medicare for All Who Want It.
Join the NYFWA for an evening with Press Forward co-founder Carolyn McGourty Supple, Bloomberg Senior Executive Editor Laura Zelenko and Bloomberg Diversity Editor Rebecca Greenfield to discuss empowering women in newsrooms.

Over the last five years, Puerto Rico has been roiled by a series of crises—from a bankrupt economy to a government beleaguered by failed leadership and a hurricane that decimated the island. This panel of journalists, sponsored by the McGraw Center for Business Journalism at the Newmark Graduate J-School, will examine how well the media has covered these interconnected challenges, along with the island's ongoing attempts to restructure and recover.
