Before the pandemic, I had a wild idea: a resource for journalists to learn from restorative justice practitioners how to be less harmful and more healing.
After 3+ years, thanks to amazing support and @freepress, today that resource exists: https://t.co/1EfENruXDl
I agree wholeheartedly. If you're interested in any of these jobs ... well I can't answer Qs about the jobs specifically but I CAN answer Qs about Free Press' culture.

Hi #IJF2022 friends, at this session >
https://t.co/a0i35Qwouc I promised I would share the must reads in the world of participatory/civic/community-building journalism. Here we go...
@j_chien @KQED@erikaaaguilar @juliecaine1 @KQEDKernan Congratulations Jen!! KQED has a superstar story editor and director coming their way. I'll be listening! 🎧
@AttorneyNora Do it with community! Gather a small cohort (1-3 friends), set reasonable weekly tasks/challenges for each other, check-in on how it went every week, celebrate progress. Book proposals (and other creative brainchildren) need collective support!
To honor the stolen legacy of Black people who were pioneers of pursuing homeownership in Greater #Englewood during the 1950’s & 60’s, the first two landmarkers for my “Inequity For Sale,” project ARE NOW installed at 6823 S. Aberdeen St. and 7250 S. Green St. Go visit them!
IT’S HERE!! 💙 The People’s Guide to Community Benefits Agreements, aka #CBAZine, a project years in the making — https://t.co/TUONby8fMk

What does it look like for newsrooms to make a commitment to reaching out to people of color in their communities? To get better at listening and understanding? And providing coverage that's more nuanced and more respectful?
Ask these questions with us. https://t.co/0uLwOF9R64
@madbair@el_timpano Congratulations!!! El Tímpano is scaling at the pace of trust, centering care, and meeting needs. In my heart of hearts, every single new local news, info, storytelling project follows this flow.
I’m so excited for the launch of this community editorial board from @CTMirror, one of the few in the country. Was honored to work alongside @Mercy_WriteNow @alishasavson and team @freepress to support this ambitious, community-centered project.
What an *amazing* community-grown resource. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, members of the DEI Coalition! And to @johnhrnndz@sisiwei for compiling and editing this resource.
As a manager, if you've wondered how you can build trust and be a good ally to colleagues of color, read what #DEICoalition members shared when it comes to:
👉🏽 What allyship means in practice
👉🏿 Power dynamics
👉🏻 Building trust incrementally
+ more!

"Revenue is a lagging indicator of trust." YES. I've talked to so many people charged with growing a membership program who have been expected to reach certain revenue targets despite no newsroom investment in addressing the trust deficit first. It doesn't work.
