We’re excited about this special service available at the 3/12 NC News & Information Summit which we're co-hosting with @ncopengov.bsky.social. Please note, you need to sign up in advance and slots are limited! Info here: forms.office.com/pages/respon...
A graphic in shades of blue and green with a mountain image in the background. The image is mostly text, describing a legal clinic for newsrooms. The text reads: ProJourn is organizing a series of Legal Checkup Clinics for Summit attendees who sign up in advance. During these clinics, attorneys will assess news organizations’ legal health by reviewing a checklist developed with the support of the firm Davis Wright Tremaine. This checklist includes a review of business models, governance, fundraising guidelines, media liability, intellectual property, and privacy.

A graphic in shades of blue and green with a mountain image in the background. The image is mostly text, describing the Data Secrets of Political Scientists session. The text reads: "How liberal is Jeff Jackson? How conservative is Richard Hudson? How many people of color voted in the 2024 election in North Carolina? Who had their ballots rejected because of North Carolina's voter ID Law? Bring your questions and a laptop for an interactive session to find the answers. Facilitated by Chris Cooper, Western Carolina University"
