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. CivicLex established a K-12 program to educate students about their local government and promote civic engagement within their Lexington community. The program included civic action workshops, a comprehensive civic curriculum, and expos where students could interact with local community organizations and public officials. 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 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.” “Gather has absolutely validated my career path, taught me the language to talk about the work, gives me connections in a world where it feels like there’s no set path, and challenges how I show up in the communities & organizations in which I serve.” “I keep searching for places where I can ask for new opinions, learn from someone else’s experience and share ideas to build a different kind of journalism. I really feel like Gather is one such place.”
