Are you ready to cover your state’s redistricting efforts? Do you know:

•                    Who will be drawing your state’s new Congressional and state House districts, and how they’ll go about it?

•                    Which districts are most likely to face dramatic change?

•                    Which demographic or other interest groups are likely to be helped or hurt?

•                    What happens if the process deadlocks?

•                    Why it matters so much?

•                    Where to find the answers to these questions?

Join the National Press Foundation for a free, one-hour webinar from 2-3 p.m. Friday, February 18. Two national experts will address policy, politics and reporting about this complex, every-10-years process that goes to the heart of our representative democracy. We’ll also introduce new, open-source software that allows you to analyze proposed maps, or even create your own.

There is no fee to attend, but you must register online.
