Listen First: Engagement Strategies to Strengthen Your Democracy Reporting
How do you make your reporting more useful? More valuable? More trustworthy? Start with listening. When people feel heard, they feel cared for and valued. And they tend to look kindly on those who help them feel that way. That doesn't mean listening at scale in your newsroom is easy. But we can help: Bridget Thoreson of listening experts Hearken and Stephanie Rivera of Colorado Public Radio News are hosting “Listen First: Engagement Strategies to Strengthen Your Democracy Reporting.” Presented by Hearken, Trusting News, Good Conflict and SJN, the Aug. 18 event will help you overcome common obstacles and concerns around community listening, so you can show your neighbors how much you care.
