This essential case study will take audiences behind the scenes of KPCC/LAist’s first reporter-engagement producer collaborative partnership, a three-year-old pairing built around the early childhood beat that seeks to elevate historically-excluded and diverse voices via listening sessions, creative engagement projects and engagement-informed reporting.

This session is designed for:

  • Engagement professionals interested in replicating this type of collaborative partnership
  • Newsroom leaders looking for creative new ways to meet diversity goals in reporting
  • Anyone who is excited about newsroom collaboration and cooperation
