Good morning…
Across the U.S. and here in Oregon, journalism organizations are struggling with the question: What’s the future of news?
Earlier this week, a colleague of mine working with a national organization called to talk about community journalism. The organization is considering helping fund reporters, providing money for enterprise projects, and teaching news operations how to raise funds locally.
I said that based on my experience, the focus has to be on content – giving community news its citizens want and need. As news sources, we have to deliver information that people want. Otherwise, we just get to practice our typing.
We think a lot about these issues at the Enterprise. That’s one reason we put every ounce of energy into getting you news of Malheur County. You can get crossword puzzles, comics and national columns from lots of sources.
What do you think? What do journalists like us and in countless small towns across the country need to do now? Or is the battle being lost to your favorite social media channels? Let me know – [email protected]
Now, here’s some of that local news we’ve been working on:
