Hi all, Some of you know that I’ve been involved with journalists and community engagement for many years through a nonprofit that I co-founded called Journalism That Matters. Over the last couple years, we’ve used an assessment approach with organizations doing creative work at the intersection of journalism and community called Developmental Evaluation <http://www.betterevaluation.org/en/plan/approach/developmental_evaluation>. It’s an approach that is at its best when dealing with complexity and innovation. We recently published a framework <https://medium.com/journalismthatmatters/journalism-for-democracy-and-communities-a-new-framework-b537e28fb32b> for civic communications that support communities and democracy to thrive. In brief, The framework outlines new skills and knowledge to enhance journalism's effectiveness through different forms of community engagement. A breakthrough our research: Innovations are more likely to come not by looking narrowly through the lens of journalism but more broadly at all kinds of civic communication. The framework articulates what the research team learned and what we imagine for communications ecosystems that are generative, inclusive, trustworthy, meaningful, and transparent. Please check it out. And let us know what you think!
