Regardless of where you’re coming from, I want to challenge us to reimagine what’s possible—and tell a new story. One that begins w/ local news collapse but comes w/ a unique opportunity to bring something emergent and hugely impactful into being. You have a role to play:
ALT The "Two Loops" framework describes a model of organizational and systems change—by Meg Wheatley and Deborah Frieze from their paper, “Using Emergence to Take Social Innovation to Scale.”

The #LocalNewsRoadmap lays out 4 recs to scale this field:
1⃣ Coordinate around expanding civic info, not saving the news business
2⃣ Directly invest in the production of civic info
3⃣ Invest in shared services & peer-led networks
4⃣ Pass public policies to expand civic info
Daniel Coεmeta McNichol retweeted
We won’t emerge from this by “saving” the old system. We need to accelerate the transition to a new system centered on community info needs & news products that help people act & solve local issues
A participatory public good that's worth investing in. Yes, I made a chart 🤖

It's been a trip, y'all—but I couldn’t be more proud of the “#LocalNewsRoadmap: An Emergent Approach to Meeting Civic Information Needs.”
Many thoughts and a 🧵 on the opportunity ahead + one ask:
1) Read/share the report: localnewsroadmap.org
2) Keep reading ⏬ Let's talk

For no particular reason, I'm starting a newsletter. I passionately hate irrelevant email so I promise a high signal-to-noise ratio. I might write some long-form content or just let you know what I've been thinking about or working on. buttondown.email/seanjtaylor
