Woke up this morning to check responses to the latest question on the @abraverway text line (I’m in India!), and was stunned/delighted to see THAT many people actually remember and then actually share all these times they’ve changed their minds on a political issue. I thought we’d get way fewer responses than we did. Amazing.
PS - If you want to join the text line (300 people and counting!) text “Brave” to 206-926-9955. It’s become quite the forum.
PS - Thank you to our partners at @kuow and of course @groundsource for making it possible!

Many of the audience-driven approaches we use at @grahammediagrp tie back to ideas and digital news leaders discovered through the ONA national conference (#ONA20). @wearehearken, @fathmco, @groundsource, @viafoura all connect to ONA. 2/6

Our look-up tool with @groundsource has now been used by more than 600 New Yorkers as families search for ventilation data on their schools. Goes to show the power of making school level data easy to find, IMO.

Not everyone has internet access.
So @KPCC @LAist used snail mail, sent text alerts in Spanish, overhauled their workflow and more to connect with their community. #TableStakes

Important #COVID19-related grant announcement today from @lenfestinst:

The Community Listening and Engagement Fund is pleased to announce that we’re awarding grants to 20 local newsrooms to help them respond to community needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's @cthompsonmorton with all the details: lenfestinstitute.org/diverse…
