A Wisconsin investigative reporter will be joined by one from The New York Times Tuesday evening to discuss insights they have gleaned from reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bram Sable-Smith, a Wisconsin Watch/Wisconsin Public Radio reporter, and Sarah Kliff from The Times will share observations related to their pandemic coverage. The program is scheduled to run from 6 to 7 p.m. on Zoom, and is open to the public at no cost. Registration is required, and can be completed here.
The program is part of Wisconsin Watch’s series entitled “Speakeasy: casual conversations, serious issues.” There will be an opportunity for questions from the audience after the presentations by the two panelists.
Kliff, an investigative reporter who has focused on health care policy, spent much of the last decade covering the battle in Washington over the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Her reporting has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court and has resulted in multiple hospitals revising their billing policy.
Before joining The Times, Kliff was a senior policy correspondent at Vox.com., where her final project focused on the high cost of emergency room care.
Sable-Smith joined Wisconsin Watch in 2019 as the WPR Mike Simonson Memorial Investigative Reporting Fellow. Before that, he spent five years at KBIA in Columbia, MO, reporting on health care concerns. He was a founding reporter of Side Effects Media, a Midwest public radio reporting collaborative focused on the impact of place, policy and economics on Americans’ health.
