A nice example of what we would call deliberative journalism - journalism focused on helping us work through tough issues and make better decisions about our shared problems.
"If we think about local opinion journalism as a vehicle for greater civic discourse, there is a world beyond news that opinion editors might also gain valuable insight from."- @KevinLoker

My own hope (not prediction) for 2023 would be that we learn the impact of engagement projects more squarely focused on civic discourse (e.g. @coloradoan's reimagined opinion section, @NoCo_DJP, @SFNext, @reckonnews' Bridge Alabama work, etc.). And that we see new ones emerge.
