"What is journalism’s...evidence-based, industry-wide understanding of the conditions that create information needs and the interventions that solve them? Right now, many newsrooms still reach for the same treatments no matter the issue." Me for @niemanlab.org www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/info...

"We’ll see our field acknowledge that journalism without strategy is just storytelling. And storytelling alone isn't public service."

Blue sky pic from the great state of New Jersey to kick this thing off.
A tranquil scene of two bright yellow kayaks on a narrow, calm waterway flanked by tall green grass on either side. The water reflects the blue sky with scattered white clouds. In the distance, a city skyline with tall buildings is visible under a clear horizon.
