Free Event: SPJ + Google News Initiative: Covering and Protecting Your Elections (Morgantown, W.Va.)
During election season, misleading news reports can sway opinions. Digital attacks can take important websites offline, silencing information when voters need it most. Journalists need access to accurate information, and a clear understanding of how to break down complicated topics with data. These are areas where Google tools and workflows can provide real value. The SPJ Training Program, in association with the Google News Initiative, is offering free training on a wide range of Google tools and workflows that can help you engage your audience, research and report information around the elections, and use data visualizations in powerful new ways.

SPJ Ethics Week
SPJ's Code of Ethics states that ethical journalism is truthful, compassionate, independent and transparent. We need ethical journalism -- and journalists who work each day with the profession's highest standards in mind -- now more than ever. The goal of Ethics Week is to not only help journalists explain how they ethically cover stories, but to share with the public information about what journalists do, how to identify ethical journalism, where to find it and how to support it.
