Visual journalism: When photos, charts and videos ARE the story
Friday April 4, 2025 9:30am - 10:15am EDT
Charts, photos, illustrations and videos can always spice up a ho-hum business news story. But sometimes these visual elements are more than just the centerpiece, they are the best way to tell the story. If you have ever wanted to learn new ways to hook your audience into your business news, this is the session for you.  You will learn how to identify visually driven stories that are better told through visuals, with prose assisting. As all audiences have come to expect more excitement and engagement from traditional media sources, there’s never been a better time to learn how visual journalism can help you tell great business news stories.

Consumer confidence is waning, economists are lowering growth forecasts, and the stock market is increasingly volatile. Tariffs are on, then off, and then on again.

Powell, the Fed chair, discusses the economy in the era of Donald Trump's sweeping second-term agenda with SABEW Board President James Nelson, business editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Heather Long, an economics columnist at The Washington Post.

A Conversation with Matt Murray, Executive Editor of The Washington Post
Friday April 4, 2025 2:00pm - 2:45pm EDT
The White House handpicks the press pool covering President Trump. Google changes its algorithm to reduce the search visibility of news content. Americans' distrust of journalists rivals their distrust of Congress. And U.S. newsrooms struggle as audiences shrink. In a conversation with Sara Fischer, media correspondent at Axios, Murray will assess the state of the news industry in an extraordinary year of tumult, disruption, uncertainty -- and opportunity.

How The Boston Globe exposed ruinous financial mismanagement at a large, for-profit hospital chain
Friday April 4, 2025 3:00pm - 3:50pm EDT
Last year, the Globe Spotlight Team exposed crippling financial practices at Steward Health Care, one of the nation’s largest, private-equity owned hospital chains, the immense human cost of that neglect and the government’s failure to prevent it. In this session, journalists will share the strategies behind their scoops, including how they were able to document the huge profits Steward generated for its investors and CEO, even as it starved its hospitals in ways that put some patients at deadly risk. They’ll also give tips on navigating sensitive stories and collaborating inside and outside of the newsroom.  This session is sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund. SABEW retains control of content, including the topic and speaker selection, for all conference sessions.

Unmasking the hidden role of private equity in the U.S. healthcare system
Friday April 4, 2025 4:00pm - 4:30pm EDT
The private equity industry controls huge pools of money, exerts power over business and politics, and is almost entirely opaque. Members of the Globe Spotlight team will talk about how they pierced the secrecy surrounding PE-founded Steward Health Care and produced stories that executives never wanted to see. They will be joined in conversation by Commonwealth Fund President and longtime Boston primary care physician Joseph R. Betancourt discussing the growing impact of private equity ownership on various facets of the U.S. health care system.  This session is sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund. SABEW retains control of content, including the topic and speaker selection, for all conference sessions.
