U.S. journalists interested in covering diabetes can attend a free seminar.

The one-day program, sponsored by the National Press Foundation and the American Public Health Association, aims to help journalists learn more about diabetes, from medical information to policy considerations.

In the last four years the number of people with any type of diabetes has increased nearly 10 percent. The program is intended to increase press coverage on this health issue.

The workshop is free with registration, but transportation and accommodation are not included.
