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
How we worked with hit podcast @VerPod to connect with listeners and help them share their own stories. Great example of authentic, highly personal #voicetech.
