NASW has released a set of Information Access Standards to guide interactions between journalists and PIOs and sources at federal science agencies. The guidelines foster the transparent and open exchange of information about science and technology generated, funded, or used by government entities.
It’s time to showcase your best work of the year with one of NASW’s two award programs.
Thanks to the work of the freelance committee, NASW members now qualify for discount membership to the National Writers Union (NWU). This cooperative agreement allows NASW members to receive the advice, power, and backing of NWU in resolving payment disputes with publishers. NWU, a fellow member of the Authors Coalition, is the only labor union that represents freelance writers working in all genres, formats, and mediums.
NASW urges conference organizers to accept NASW membership as a sufficient credential for granting press privileges to freelance writers at scientific, technical, and medical conferences.
