This forum encourages an open exchange between news practitioners, folks supporting the industry and others with information and knowledge to share. We welcome diversity in ethnicity, perspective and approach.

By exploring the pressing needs of news innovators across local communities, this project aims to provide a composite view of journalism experiments in the field. We want to build upon the expertise, knowledge, and existing research across institutions.

This project is a step toward creating a shared, free and accessible knowledge base. We welcome you to join our community.
