I am on the National Press Club email list, and I got this little calendar entry in my inbox today. I thought I would share it with everyone else, in case anyone wanted to go.
Training is an integral part of any journalist’s regimen, and this one stuck out at me because there are a lot of issues, both political and social, involving the transgendered community. If you feel like you need a refresher, go for it.
Excerpt taken from event listing.
Trans 101 Training. Trans 101 will provide participants with information and tools to work with transgender people, including a review of gender/gender identity/gender expression, an overview of current issues, and effective ally behaviors. The next session is July 14, 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., in MGC 245. To sign up, please contact the GLBTA Resource Center at x3347 or glbta@american.edu, or see the Web site at www.american.edu/ocl/glbta/Trans-101.cfm.

There has definitely been a lot of talk about how legacy media still drives much of the debate, in terms of research and writing and breaking investigative stories. Although that is no longer entirely the case, the Pew Center did a great study on the news ecosystem in Baltimore (Note: Statistics from “The Wire” not included due to mature content).
