Gather is a project + platform to support community-minded journalists and other engagement professionals. Our mission: make journalism more responsive to the public’s needs and more inclusive of the public’s voices and diversity, by helping journalists, educators, and students who share these values find each other, find resources and best practices, and find support and mentorship. Learn more about Gather. The guide “Taking Care” by jesikah maria ross emphasizes the importance of practicing care in journalism, offering practical tips and insights for creating impactful and healing storytelling. The investigative coverage of the closure of the Chuckawalla Valley State Prison was intended not only to help amplify the work being done by the residents of Blythe but also to ensure that there would always be someone watching what was happening and checking in on this ongoing situation. Community engagement often happens in real time—through social media, events, or private conversations—which means colleagues and readers might miss valuable insights. Our panel shared what they’ve learned about effective community engagement practices. “I’m interested in helping to eliminate barriers that keep journalism and information sharing exclusive. I love that Gather not only shares examples of how to create collaboratively with communities but is a collaborative community itself!” “I’m on Gather to learn, grow, share ideas, and collaborate with others who work in the audience-focused space! Learning from people at other organizations has been incredibly helpful for crafting our strategy.” “I believe engaged journalism and solutions journalism can elevate the relevance and reach of our reporting. I also see a need for a public square for journalists to come together and share what is (and is not) working. Gather is a forum for these things.”
