Creating an Engaged Newsroom Toolkit
This toolkit showcases best practices of community engagement, addresses questions and concerns we’ve heard from reporters, and provides concrete tips for newsrooms interested in hosting live events in their communities.
Our communities need hard-hitting, in-depth reporting to stay informed and participate fully in our democracy. But local journalism is going through a period of upheaval. Technological innovations and shifting reader habits are changing how people consume news.
We believe journalism’s best hope lies in building stronger relationships with local communities. Doing that requires listening and inviting the public to be part of the conversation about local news.
