Transitions into new technologies and platforms must be approached from both a business and editorial perspective, and must include and reflect a variety of voices at every step in the process.

  • Newsrooms leaders and team members interested in learning more about editorial workflows and best practices in the CMS
  • Anyone interested in discussing how interface choices and editorial workflow tools can support or hinder equity and inclusion efforts.
