Election SOS is inviting newsrooms to apply for their training programs to develop election strategies. There are two tracks to choose from - Engaged Elections, facilitated by Hearken, helps participants develop their strategies for pursuing a "citizens agenda" style of coverage that starts with the information needs of the public. Participants come away with a concrete strategy to put into action immediately at their newsrooms. Trustworthy Elections, facilitated by Trusting News, helps participants navigate misinformation and disinformation and build trust with audiences during an election campaign. The training program has consistently gotten strong reviews, and participation is totally free, thanks to the support of Democracy Fund. The last training cohorts will be offered in September. The deadline to apply is this Friday, August 21.
