What’s Ahead in 2025: A Post-Election Roundtable for Reporters and Editors

With this new year comes a new U.S. president. The Education Writers Association will help journalists answer important questions about the new administration’s plans for education during a Dec. 12 webinar at 1 p.m. Eastern. 

What will President-Elect Donald Trump’s plans mean for P-12 and higher education students and communities? How can reporters best cover the impact of threats facing undocumented communities? What do journalists need to know about the likelihood of an intensified focus on school choice and the role of federal funding in education? 

What are some ways to deepen your sources among vulnerable communities – including students – who might be feeling unsettled and anxious? Who can reporters call for help understanding the new(er) federal landscape while also focusing on the state and local impact of the 2024 elections? 

Take advantage of this opportunity to talk with four education journalists – two editors and two reporters – who will share strategies, story ideas and answer your questions.
