Hyperlocal Heroes: Building Community Knowledge in the Digital Age
New_ Public
In the midst of decades of collapsing local news, there are some new trusted sources and messengers on the scene. Instead of a local newspaper, you might find out what’s happening from a hyperlocal creator on TikTok, an email newsletter about the school board, or a local digital space — an online group for your town or neighborhood on a social media platform. How are people finding local information and accumulating the knowledge they need about their towns and neighborhoods, and where do local media institutions fit in? Join a panel of practitioners and experts, including local leaders on the ground in their communities, as we take on the changing local information ecosystem — as well as the people, platforms, practices that can make the difference between news desert and thriving community.
