Covering Nuclear Issues

A Workshop for Journalists

About

Covering Nuclear Issues: A Workshop for Journalists is an intensive training workshop for journalists covering nuclear issues. Our goal is to bring together a diverse group of reporters, academics, researchers and practitioners in order to help journalists deepen their reporting skills and expand their thinking around nuclear issues, which are increasingly in the news. Hosted by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard, the workshop is made possible with the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and with assistance from the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School.

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation supports creative people, effective institutions, and influential networks building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. MacArthur is placing a few big bets that truly significant progress is possible on some of the world’s most pressing social challenges, including over-incarceration, global climate change, nuclear risk, and significantly increasing financial capital for the social sector. In addition to the MacArthur Fellows Program, the Foundation continues its historic commitments to the role of journalism in a responsible and responsive democracy, as well as the strength and vitality of our headquarters city, Chicago.

MacArthur is one of the nation’s largest independent foundations. Organizations supported by the Foundation work in about 50 countries. In addition to Chicago, MacArthur has offices in India, Mexico, and Nigeria. www.macfound.org | @macfound
