The “Big Beautiful Bill”: What it means for taxes

Experts from the Bipartisan Policy Center will brief journalists on the biggest tax cuts and tax policy changes that are part of the new law.

Whether you’re new to writing about taxes or have dipped your toe into writing about them before, the BPC’s policy experts will be ready to answer your burning questions on how the new law stands to impact Americans’ pocketbooks and more.

This webinar is part two of a series to help journalists enhance their understanding and coverage of the bill’s major themes.

Rebuilding trust in health reporting while covering misinformation
Aug 19 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

In today’s information landscape, many people trust false or misleading health claims more than the accurate, responsible and ethical journalism that could help protect their lives and well-being. Journalists face the urgent challenge of not only identifying and confronting misinformation—including when it comes from powerful public figures—but also getting the truth heard and believed.

Trusting News and The Journalist’s Resource, a project of Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center, are collaborating to share how journalists can break through the noise to rebuild audience trust and better reach communities with their factual reporting. In this webinar, we will share strategies for responsibly covering misinformation without amplifying it and show real newsroom examples of how journalists are helping their communities navigate confusion, fear and doubt in health information.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from:
* Karen Ernst, Voices for Vaccines
* Stefanie Friedhoff, Director of the Information Futures Lab, Brown U
* Tara Haelle, independent science and health journalist
* Naseem Miller, The Journalist’s Resource
* Lynn Walsh, Assistant Director of Trusting News

The “Big Beautiful Bill”: What it means for family benefits and housing
Aug 20 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Experts from the Bipartisan Policy Center will break down key provisions in the new law affecting housing policy and benefits for families — two issues that impact millions of readers and viewers nationwide.

We’ll cover what the law means for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, the popular child tax credit claimed by millions of taxpayers every year, as well as the new $6,000 deduction for seniors and the newly-created Trump accounts. We’ll discuss how these changes may affect the housing market and working parents.

Whether you cover housing specifically or want to better understand policies shaping your audience’s daily lives, this session is for you.

This webinar is part three of a series to help journalists enhance their understanding and coverage of the bill’s major themes.

NENPA members have access to programs that are offered annually on writing and editorial topics, print and online advertising sales, technology, social networking, management issues, and much more. These time-efficient webinars are designed to offer fresh ideas to improve job skills, without the need for travel and time away from the office.
