CMCs and the Future of Local News Meet-Up

Please join us for the first CMCs and the Future of Local News Virtual Meet-Up on Thursday, April 24^th, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. 

This meet-up aims to start organizing practitioners who use community television and radio infrastructure to proactively address local news and information needs. There is a growing need for us to improve how we track the development of such programs, tell stories about how they’re making a difference in our communities, and share best practices that can be adopted to enhance our work on grassroots local levels. 

These virtual sessions will be recorded and summarized to share knowledge within our practitioner networks and inform Dr. Antoine Haywood’s research on the growth potential of CMCs in the context of local news and civic information landscapes.

Our kick-off meet-up will focus on the following areas:

• Overview of Meet-Up Purpose
• Collective Introductions
• Tracking Program Development Across the Field
•  Resource Sharing, Asks and Offers, and Updates
