It’s Time for a Media Makeover!

Overall, the problems we see are many:

1.  Key stories are not being told or shared.
2. Fewer people trust the news media.
3. We are increasingly living in news silos.
4. The in-depth news model is under siege.
5. The lethargy and complacency that can affect newsroom culture can lead to news that is predictable and boring.
6. We know less than our parents did.

It’s time for a news makeover. The prospect of news, knowledge, community-building services is being created right now. Some of the solutions will be driven by news-gathering institutions, technology leaders and entrepreneurs; the opportunity is there for the taking.

But the biggest game changer is us – the public and individual consumers. The change we seek is within reach. It’s up to us to get aware, get active, and take control.

Thanks for coming. Join our tribe and make a difference. Please share ideas, resources, tools and tips to take control of our daily news diets, put the pieces together and ultimately be more confident that we are seeing the full picture of our world in a way we can trust.
