On Friday, September 9, we’ll be convening journalists, civic organizations, and community members to better understand how people engage with trusted information during a time of huge changes in the media ecosystem. What issues are most important? What tools and sources do people use for reliable news and information? What challenges do people face in getting information that helps them make decisions and take action in their local communities?
The convening will center community voices on how to improve Oregon’s news and information ecosystem. We will begin by reviewing some table-setting baseline information and research on the health of our state’s media system. Most of our time together will be in conversation on how to better fill our community’s information needs and re-imagine what truly engaging, informative, and inclusive local news would look like.
Light breakfast and lunch will be served.
Thanks to the Oregon Community Foundation for their generous support.
