While reporting remains essential to journalism, today’s information ecosystem demands a broader toolkit. How can we create learning networks where journalists and communities work together to solve local problems?
In this lunch workshop, journalist and strategist Darryl Holliday will share practical approaches to building action-oriented communities of practice to enhance learning and public participation throughout the journalistic process. Drawing from his experience developing News Futures and City Bureau’s Documenters Network (now in 22 cities), Holliday will demonstrate how these collaborative design principles can be applied at both local and national scales.
You’ll learn:
- How to build sustainable communities of practice
- Strategies for meaningful public participation in journalism
- Real-world civic impact examples: Local residents becoming paid documenters of public meetings
- Communities advocating for public funding of independent media
- Field leaders coming together to define shared goals
- Tools for scaling community engagement
