Why should a journalism association engage in advocacy?   Every day – in cities, towns, counties and courthouses across the country – policies are implemented that impact the way newsrooms operate. Oftentimes these policies lead to minor changes and subtle inconveniences that impede the way newsrooms access and distribute information.  Maybe it’s restricting camera access in the courtroom. 📹   Or delaying the release of police scanner communications by 15 minutes. 📻   Over the years, RTDNA has witnessed the dangerous consequences of these incremental policies. Our advocacy efforts exist to identify, address and challenge the policies impacting our industry – whatever they are, however inconsequential they may seem.   Learn about the trends we’re monitoring and how to get involved in our advocacy efforts here: https://buff.ly/3FMqSxs  #Journalism #Radio #Television #Digital #News #RTDNA #TrendsInJournalism

A lot of great ideas from Trusting News. The biggest need and priority for news publishers is to increase engagement practices in newsroom routines so that coverage reflects the whole community. This can be done by building relationships with more diverse communities, such as rural, conservative, BIPOC, and younger audiences. Newsrooms that want to evolve can do targeted community listening, host events, and interact more online and in real life. Do more than just report about and for the community. Report with the community. Make sure all voices are being heard and all issues are being addressed. "Listening to and engaging with your community is foundational to building trusted relationships."
