Learn how two foundations in two different geographies are using similar approaches to improve civic health and community engagement, fill vital information gaps and build trust by supporting local, hyperlocal and community-based news providers. Working on the local level, these foundations are leveraging national resources and partner expertise to reinvent local news. This session is for board members and program/strategy officers who want to help solve the local news crisis and create more equitable community engagement.
