“This event is for news, information and community leaders who are located in and serve rural, low-income and geographically dispersed communities. This experience is two days of hands-on sessions and collaborative activities to workshop solutions for news and information leaders in rural communities. We know that the revenue tactics that may work for newsrooms who serve large populations often do not work for those who serve small, low-income, geographically dispersed communities without access to broadband and other civic infrastructure services. We want to help those serving these communities create transformative and collaborative solutions, learn from each other and build strategies that will work for their specific needs.”
