We can build more diverse and inclusive journalism if we engage directly with community members. This interactive session -- part discussion, part workshop -- will take participants through a design thinking exercise for moving at the “speed of inclusion.” We'll explore how to represent the full diversity of voices in our communities to make them more present in our reporting. You’ll walk away with an engagement plan for a project that puts community at the core of reporting and learn foundational skills -- such as how to map stakeholders -- for putting these lessons into action.
