Eating disorders are the deadliest of all mental health conditions (not including substance use disorders), yet people suffering from these conditions face enormous difficulty getting their care covered. People of color and people on public insurance often face greater obstacles to treatment, including lack of nearby facilities, insurance coverage rollbacks, and long waiting lists.

In conversation with Mikaela Schmitt, program manager for the Outreach team at the Pulitzer Center, journalist discusses mental health parity, and the obstacles individuals face when seeking treatment for eating disorders.

In this investigative piece for , Haiken takes a closer look at the role insurance providers play in restricting access to care.

The Pulitzer Center is thrilled to release the AI Spotlight Series curriculum, free and open for journalists on any beat worldwide, who are interested in covering artificial intelligence with nuance and impact.

This toolkit builds on the Pulitzer Center’s AI Spotlight Series, an initiative designed to expand the field of AI accountability reporting by equipping journalists around the world with the skills and knowledge necessary to cover AI critically and responsibly.

Over the past two years, in collaboration with a brilliant team of journalists and media partners, we have trained nearly 3,000 journalists through the AI Spotlight Series. Now, the curriculum, training videos, and additional learning resources are available on-demand for anyone eager to dig deeper into AI’s impacts on communities and society.

Led by journalists Karen Hao, Lam Thuy Vo, Gideon Lichfield, Gabriel Geiger, and Tom Simonite, the curriculum features 14 modules across three learning tracks designed to build a strong foundation for AI accountability reporting.

We hope these materials support journalists globally in strengthening AI accountability and public understanding of AI.

Today at COP30, Flora Pereira, the Pulitzer Center’s Chief Impact Officer, joined a UN-Habitat high-level panel to discuss how science, research, traditional knowledge, and journalism are key contributors in guiding climate information ahead of the upcoming IPCC Special Report, which focuses on climate and cities.

She spoke about the role of journalism and engagement in communicating science to bridge real-world impact.

Pereira underscored the importance of science and journalism getting closer to their audiences, especially to those most affected by climate change, to listen to their stories, and illuminate pathways to solutions.

As an example, Pereira highlighted El Surti’s (Paraguay) Center-supported project, which examined the impact of extreme heat on delivery drivers’ health, and where journalism served as a bridge between affected drivers and decision-makers.
