In this webinar
Relevant newspapers purposely demonstrate they’re THE community forum for the public they serve. Sharpening a strategy to engage citizens in meaningful ways is the indispensable twin of trusted journalism. But it’s not easy to maintain a program of civil, civic conversations on issues of importance. It takes discipline, resolve, and, yes, earnest listening.
Learn from Tom Silvestri, creator of a 15-year initiative called the Public Square, and help The Relevance Project advance the cause of the community forum.
