The spirit of journalism is still very much alive and there are passionate journalists and other local media professionals that are working to find innovative ways to sustain local media.
Presented by the NC Local News Workshop and the NC Open Government Coalition, with presenting sponsor Google New Initiative, the daylong NC Local News & Information Summit consisted of panels, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to empower and inform those invested in the vitality of North Carolina’s news and information ecosystem.
From understanding reporters’ legal rights, discussing new innovative strategies for digital media to exploring opportunities to build journalism collaboratives, for a third consecutive year, the summit convened news and information professionals dedicated to sustaining local news and open government in the Tar Heel state.
