Since 2018, @CivilBeat has logged 1,000+ examples of impact, from govt accountability after a pipeline leak in Pearl Harbor to Covid-19’s impact on Pacific Islanders. How do they make that info meaningful to readers?

Thank you @marikolchang for sharing! https://t.co/fdpydHb40D

A look inside The Met’s shady acquisition practices by ⁦@ICIJorg⁩ & ⁦@NepaliTimes⁩ found at least 1,109 pieces previously owned by people who had been either indicted or convicted of antiquities crimes, with 309 of them on display. https://t.co/78JtrlizkB

New blog alert from @egmROC: What do you do when there’s *too much* impact? How do you sift through it all to surface powerful stories?

[Impact Architects @ImpactArchtcts]

Did you know: Today is Read Across America Day! IA's @egmROC explores our recent project with @AmPubMedia to understand the impact of education reporter @ehanford's journalism about reading instruction in U.S. schools. https://t.co/CoxyttU26K

Time to nerd out at the final #KMF23 session with @FCC chair @JRosenworcelFCC on Section 230, comms infrastructure, and what comes next. How do you conceptualize or regulate today’s media environment when info can travel as far and as fast as it does?

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

A lot of journalism funding for local collaboration is often project-based or issue-based (like the awesome @CltJournalism focus on affordable housing). Curious how funders (like #KMF23 panel @macfound & @knightfdn) would approach scaling that up beyond specific issues?

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

I think @lilajmills just hit on what the goals should be for convenings like #KMF23: It’s not about saving journalism, it’s about an ecosystem of civic engagement. How might community orgs and news work together for stronger communities?

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

The Documenters program, which trains & pays citizens to attend & note-take at public meetings, is seen as a “civic side hustle,” says @lilajmills @signalcleveland. You could drive Uber, you could drive door dash, or you can help keep your community informed. What a world. #KMF23

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

Black press orgs are incredibly valuable and deeply rooted in community. On @TheBloomLab panel at #KMF23, @mygoldenstate talks about their role in telling the complete story of the community—not just there for the tragedy, but also there for the joy, the resilience.

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

Kicking off #KMF23, @knightfdn announces a new $5M investment in Akron’s news ecosystem: launching nonprofit news org Signal Akron. The total investment will be $9.5M incl partners like @JournalismProj #knightcities

@LaSharah @ONA Huzzah! So excited for this new chapter for you at @ONA, LaSharah!

@IngridCobben Thanks so much for sharing!

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

I work with really cool and smart people. Like the original impact tracker, @WhimsicaLinds.

[Solutions Journalism Network @soljourno]

When it comes to impact @WhimsicaLinds is the boss. She just shared a fantastic resource at #newsphilsummit about building impact into your newsroom's culture from @rosedamo.

This was an amazing conversation #NewsPhilSummit with @LisaMcCray @baltbeat and Adam Holofcener exploring how family foundations (and philanthropy in general) can rethink their approach to funding. And ICYMI: https://t.co/YsQZyIfyAF

[The Lenfest Institute for Journalism @lenfestinst]

Also now: @baltbeat’s relaunch with the support of the Lillian Holofcener Charitable Foundation and lessons on transformative funding, wealth redistribution, and financial reparations. Join @LisaMcCray and Adam Holofcener to learn more #NewsPhilSummit ⏬

Equitable journalism is a strategy to serve communities needed info with the long term goal of building power. And more & more orgs are taking intentional steps to implementing #EquitableJournalism in their work, like @DemocracyFund & @FordFoundation: https://t.co/sK6kU25fDj

When AI-enthusiasts describe their work process as “conjuring it up with a spell” I think it points to a disconnect on the creation of art, or really, the art of creation.

Alien forest. Epic scene. Zendaya. Artists are turning to AI programs that generate pictures from text prompts, stirring up questions over ownership. https://t.co/Z2A9IUB0CA

[Rosemary D'Amour @rosedamo]

There’s such wonderful opportunity for journalism to learn from other fields, from the arts to community organizers to urban planners. ⁦@azirulnick⁩ & ⁦⁦@losowsky⁩ have a new series focused on just that⁩. Excited to see where it could go! https://t.co/NLeTOGv95p
