Reporting the Rainbow
Covering and Serving the Queer Community
Friday, Jan. 23, 1 to 2 p.m. ET
This workshop offers an exploration of how to turn LGBTQ+ data into reporting that is accurate, thoughtful and community-informed. Building on December’s training about finding data on LGBTQ+ communities, this session focuses on the next essential step using that information with care, nuance and cultural humility.
(Enroll by Friday, Jan. 23, 10 a.m ET)

We host Office Hours immediately after our workshop sessions and one Wednesday a month, free of charge, and open to all. Whether you’re looking for guidance on a specific investigation or just want to listen and learn from others, you’re welcome here.

What journalists are saying about Sunlight Research Center
Training from Sunlight Research Center helped us level up the work we were already doing to check the backgrounds of candidates in certain races that our local audience wanted us to focus on. We’ll continue using the training resources in the future to methodically expand the number of candidate background checks we do as a service to readers.

Every time I come to SRC’s training, I pick up good nuggets of information from veteran reporters.
Sunlight Fellow
Sunlight's panel offered a rare opportunity to hear from award-winning investigative journalists about how they've done some of their best work. The panel inspiring and office hours allowed me to hone an investigation I'm working on.
