Elections can energize existing audience and bring in new eyes and ears to your news organization. Tune in to experts at the American Press Institute and The Associated Press, who will share a “lightning round” of ideas on how to keep everyone engaged after votes are counted and winners are announced.
This webinar is part of a seven-part API and AP webinar series to support news organizations’ evolving needs around local elections and democracy.

What began as a theory in the 1890s — that industrial emissions of carbon dioxide could increase global temperatures — had progressed to a scientific fact a century later. Scientists across a range of disciplines are studying the impact of the still-growing concentration of carbon dioxide and other so-called “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere as they call for industrial and governmental policies to slow, then halt, the warming of the planet.
