Manage episode 478810164 series 2608048
Earlier this year, six local news organizations participated in the American Press Institute's Live Events Sprint for Table Stakes Alumni. The goal of this five-month cohort was to help news organizations design and market live events within their communities.
Through the program, Vermont Public planned a series of community picnics to better understand election questions and policy issues important to community members.
Amy Zielinski, senior event producer for Vermont Public, talks to Better News podcast host Michael O'Connell about how Vermont Public is using events to foster dialogue and connect with its audience.
API also created a self-guided workbook for journalists who want to get started with live events.
