One more thought on local community engagement: I moved back to my hometown of Portland, Oregon after years reporting nationally and internationally for many reasons. One key piece for me was to experience being a part of a community I was covering. I found it presented many challenges simply because of the ways my responsibility as a journalist intersects with other aspects of my life. For example, I found friends and acquaintances who felt uncomfortable discussing personal or professional issues without noting that they were “off the record.” Or some who felt that I should report on their cause. Personal relationships can of course be key to helping new local journalism ventures succeed. I would love to hear how other local journalists handle their personal relationships in the communities they cover.
