WASHINGTON, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” became law on July 4. Weeks later, journalists are still answering the big, beautiful questions: What policies are going to change, and which ones are going to stay the same? How will the new law’s provisions impact Americans across the country? Who and what will be affected most by the new law? What upcoming dates and deadlines will be relevant for your readers and viewers to know?
The National Press Club Journalism Institute and the Bipartisan Policy Center are offering a four-part series of virtual briefings to help journalists enhance their understanding and coverage of the bill’s major themes.
These briefings aim to easily break down some of the law’s big themes for journalists to help them improve their coverage and understanding of the law from a policy and procedure perspective.
Each session aims to sow the seeds for coverage ideas on how the impacts of the law will play out across the country, get journalists answers to their lingering questions, and educate reporters about facets of the law they might not be as familiar with.
Policy experts from the Bipartisan Policy Center will helm each briefing and be ready to answer your questions on all of the above and more. Come armed with topics you want to know more about and get ready to dive into the nitty gritty details of the new law and up your game on understanding policy more broadly.
