It was wonderful to see so many friends and colleagues at Knight Media Forum this week. I hope, between the sessions, hallways, bars and restaurants, you found it all the value we did. Here are six of my takeaways from the Forum. newsatknight.substack.com/p/… #kmf23

We asked participants from @TheBloomLab to share more about their experiences as leaders at Black locally owned and operated media companies, and how they meet the challenges of diversifying revenue streams and growing new audiences. localmedia.org/2023/02/the-f…

At a mtg last yr Larry Lee, CEO @SacObsernewspaper (60-year old Black newspaper) shared that his org quadrupled their staff size in just 16 mos. The @knightfdn event was focused on sustainability. Attendees stood and clapped. I had tears in my eyes. Everyone wanted to know how. – at Miami, FL

And @News_Kat is the other fab @JSKstanford member. Great to connect with about 20 members of our JSK Fellowships community here at The Knight Media Forum. Inspiring & challenging conversations re: the state & future promise of local news & democracy. #KMF23 @knightfdn
Janis Ware retweeted
Final day of the Knight Media Forum #KMF23 Glad to rep @DPTVOneDetroit Something that’s stuck with me from the am session re: addressing polarization: The work of the media is to bring hope to what America can be, that it can be better rather than continuing to stoke the fire.

“The Press is the only private sector institution called out in the constitution,” says @JRosenworcel at the @knightfdn #KMF23 meeting. She says she understands then that journalism is fundamentally important to the country and news deserts are concerning problems for democracy.
