Take stock of your 2023 local election coverage — what worked well and what didn’t — to support your planning for 2024. We aim to help you take notes now to strengthen your engagement and audience work ahead of next November.
For many newsrooms, changing the systems that protect unhealthy culture could be a few sustained decisions away from reality.
Don’t forget to reward yourself for building new habits, and think about how you can incorporate these into your newsroom’s workflow.
Maybe you’re proactively planning your day around the suggested well-being task, or maybe you need to check your calendar each day for a reminder — there’s no right or wrong way to do this.
You’ve made it through the first week of prioritizing well-being! What activities made a positive impact on your day? Were there any that were difficult to accomplish?
Why a 20-day, 20-action challenge? Because prioritizing the well-being of ourselves, our journalists, and by relation, our organizations takes deliberate steps toward healthy habits and self-awareness.
You will never know how your community is engaging with your coverage unless you ask. Our partners at the Record-Journal in Meriden, Conn., experienced this firsthand after holding more than 80 conversations with community members and hearing from more than 2,000 survey respondents.
It is okay if this takes longer to get off the ground than you think it will.
If your organization is serious about including new voices and better amplifying underrepresented voices, it’s crucial that you find ways to root your daily workflow in inclusivity.
