Pride Coverage Primer

Summer is upon us, which means Pride parades will be commandeering city streets across the country. As you and your newsroom gear up to report on events in your area, take a moment to re-think your coverage strategy during this special time in the LGBT community. This year's Pride Primer not only includes resources to help you get your LGBT coverage right, but also some sample story ideas to help you dig deeper into the real meaning of Pride.

NLGJA Stylebook Supplement on LGBT Terminology

"Gay marriage" or "marriage rights for same-sex couples?" Is there anything wrong with referring to an "alternative lifestyle?" Is using the word "queer" ever acceptable? NLGJA's Stylebook Supplement on LGBT Terminology answers these questions and complements other stylebook resources.

Journalists Toolbox

With stories about the LGBT community making news in beats from health to education and everywhere in between, NLGJA's Journalists Toolbox is designed to provide information and strategies to journalists who find themselves seeking creative, unique and accurate means of covering the LGBT community.

Newsroom Outreach Project

The Newsroom Outreach Project works to further NLGJA’s mission through meetings with broadcast, print and online newsroom leaders across the country. We discuss LGBT journalism issues, including appropriate use of terminology, as well as workplace issues affecting LGBT employees.
