Reporting and Writing on Social Movements

About

We need more and better coverage of movements for social change. It is possible and necessary to write about organizing without doing PR for the people and movements you cover. These are among Dani McClain’s core beliefs, and she is helping to grow the field of journalists and media makers who are working in this vein.

McClain has carried this call for critical reporting on movements to audiences at universities and community-based organizations nationwide. She is happy to discuss her own process and the content of her articles — which focus on race, reproductive health, policy and politics — with journalists-in-training, advocates, students and the generally curious.

Dani McClain brings some of today’s most incisive reporting on social justice movements off the page (or screen) and to you. Through an in-person presentation or via webinar, McClain is available to:

  • discuss her book WE LIVE FOR THE WE: The Political Power of Black Motherhood
  • share the findings of her reporting and news analysis and engage participants in a related discussion.
  • provide trainings on topics including writing about parenting, reporting feature articles, and constructing passionate, well-researched op-eds.
  • share her own experiences building a career in public interest journalism and lessons learned with journalism students and other storytellers-in-training.
  • collaborate with other media makers on special projects or story packages.
  • plan and moderate a panel at your upcoming conference or event.
