Want to go beyond “good intentions” and build disability coverage skills you can actually use on deadline? The Fix the Frame Workshop Series is a practical training series for journalists and editors focused on applying the guide in real newsroom workflows — from framing and sourcing to headlines, visuals, social copy, and accessibility. Each session is designed to help participants strengthen disability coverage with tools they can use in their next story, not just in a training room. 📅 Workshop 1 (Foundations): April 16 📅 Workshop 2 (Sourcing & Authority): May 21 📅 Workshop 3 (Story Structure + Intersectionality): June 18 📅 Workshop 4 (Language + Consent + Disclosure): July 16 📅 Workshop 5 (Packaging + Accessibility + MV Ethics): August 20 🕐 All sessions: 1:00–2:00 PM ET Ideal for reporters, editors, producers, and newsroom leaders who want stronger, more accurate disability coverage under deadline pressure. Visit mvj.network/disability to sign up for the workshop series.

Disability stories show up across beats — health, housing, education, policy, courts, veterans, local government, and more. But under deadline, coverage can drift into familiar framing, institutional over-reliance, or headlines/social copy that unintentionally distort the story. Join Military Veterans in Journalism (MVJ) and the Disabled Journalists Association (DJA) for the launch of Fix the Frame, a practical newsroom guide built to help journalists and editors produce stronger disability coverage under real-world conditions. Built with disabled journalists and grounded in lived experience, the guide goes beyond terminology and offers practical tools for framing, sourcing, accountability, packaging, and accessibility. At the launch, you’ll get: -Key insights from contributors and council members -A preview of the guide’s structure and tools Practical context on why this work matters for newsroom workflows -Space for discussion and audience Q&A 📌 If you report, edit, produce, or package stories, this is for you. Visit mvj.network/disability to register for the Fix the Frame Guide Launch Event.
