SUMMARY:INN + Gigafact: Fact Briefs & the power of micro-investigations
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to access Fact Briefs to produce stories that answer community questions\, expand investigative impact\, meet audience demand\, and create new opportunities for engagement and support…. \nToday\, Oklahoma Watch and 18 other newsrooms are publishing Fact Briefs—informative 150-word micro-investigations into the questions\, confusions\, rumors and unsupported claims circulating in their communities. Fact Briefs are inspired by the best practices of fact-checking\, but they are also a way for newsrooms to broaden their investigative scope. \nVia their Fact Briefs\, Oklahoma Watch can apply their expertise to questions such as\, “Are Oklahoma home insurance rates among the highest in the nation?” and “Did the No Child Left Behind Act prohibit schools from holding students back?” that are on the minds of Oklahomans. Fact Briefs provide an efficient way to “meet readers where they are” and provide information their audience is searching for. They have also given Oklahoma Watch a means of underscoring key findings from their longform investigations and even attracted a local sponsor. \nJoin this session for feature presentations from Ted Streuli\, Executive Director of Oklahoma Watch\, and Robyn Sundlee\, VP of Programs at Gigafact. They will discuss Oklahoma Watch’s experience publishing Fact Briefs\, how they’ve complemented the newsroom’s investigative practices\, and how other newsrooms might get involved. \nSpeakers:  Ted Streuli: Executive Director at Oklahoma Watch \nRobyn Sundlee: VP of Programs at Gigafact

SUMMARY:ProJourn Legal Checkup Clinic
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to a news organization’s legal needs\, understanding how to operate safely and sustainably from a business standpoint is just as important as knowing what challenges might arise in the reporting process. This session\, led by ProJourn\, a program of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press\, will help newsroom leaders assess and prioritize their organization’s legal needs. Attorneys will guide attendees through a checklist\, developed in collaboration with ProJourn partner Davis Wright Tremaine LLP\, of key areas to consider legal risk and needs\, including: \n\nBusiness models and Governance (e.g.\, 501(c)(3)\, compliance with IRS requirements\, tax-exempt status\, incorporation\, fiscal sponsorship\, and/or hybrid entity formation\, news collaboratives and joint ventures);\nIntellectual property\, data protection\, privacy (e.g.\, copyright infringement\, website terms and conditions\, and privacy policies);\nEmployment  (e.g.\, employee handbook; independent journalist contract template);\nMedia Liability (e.g.\, media liability insurance\, defamation risks\, pre-publication review\, and access to records); and\nSafety and Security (e.g.\, protest safety and reporting\, police interaction\, digital security).\n\nParticipation in this clinic does not constitute acceptance of your matter for representation nor a promise to do so and does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and in-house counsel\, the law firm\, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press or any other participating law firm and company\, their employees\, directors or officers. \nPlease note\, slots are limited and will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your scheduled Checkup\, your organization will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list. \n\nIf you are not yet a ProJourn client\,  please fill out our eligibility form here: https://forms.office.com/r/S3qpVvg1Mt

SUMMARY:Collaborating with Smithsonian's rural initiatives
