Click here<\/a> to go to our Eventbrite registration page.<\/p>\nThis event is made possible through a partnership with Back Pocket Media, a multimedia storytelling production company, which has provided us with training and logistical support thanks to a grant from the Brown Institute.<\/p>\n
As a result, the Post and five other newsrooms across the country have been selected to take part in a new type of storytelling model meant to help newsrooms build trust between journalists and their readers and empower readers to be part of the storytelling process.<\/p>\n
You may not know, but newsrooms across the nation, including ours, have also taken a financial hit due to the pandemic. We hope by creating engaging events like this one, we can also regain some of the lost revenue we\u2019ve experienced by charging nominal fees.<\/p>\n
