Connecting journalists to local communities via text
We here at The Takeaway are always looking to connect with local communities. So this week we’re hosting a summit with our friends at WLRN in Miami that’s made possible by the Knight Foundation. We’re experimenting to see how we can use text messaging as a tool for uncovering local issues that matter in Little Haiti, Miami. Can it help journalists and the communities they cover tell more compelling stories?
The Takeaway’s Digital Editor Jim Colgan is in Miami. He explains the design thinking process we’re using.
Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you. We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
