Meeting reset series
New year, same old meetings. Meetings that don’t include the right people or that include too many people. Meetings that could have been an email. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? As we kick off 2026, API wants to help you reset and rethink key meetings in your news organization.
API year in review 2025
It’s been a busy year for us: we held three API Local News Summits, built out a comprehensive guide to partnering with influencers, encouraged experiments with grants and cohorts, and supported news organizations with our products.
Experimenting with Creators
The Houston Chronicle created small-scale experiments that tested how strategically work with a creator while navigating potentially thorny issues around ethics, control and impact. In this series, they walk you through what they did.
Adopt a product mindset for news
What if we started looking at our output as a product, not a service? Too often, we think "product" means a fancy app or a new website. But product isn’t about tech. It’s about intention.
Our Series
Our essay series offers insights from experts in media and other industries to reflect on journalism best practices and industry challenges.
