Covering and Serving the Queer Community
Friday, Jan. 23, 1 to 2 p.m. ET

What journalists are saying about Sunlight Research Center
The Sunlight Research Center was a delightful discovery. Their online tools and expert presenters provide a wealth of resources. As a freelance researcher, it is all too easy to feel isolated, and to worry about skills rusting. Sunlight Research Center keeps me abreast of ever-changing tools and techniques, providing continuing ed so I can stay on top of my game.
