It’s difficult enough reporting on sensitive topics. But when your story publishes/airs, the conversation your work can spark becomes a whole different challenge. This session walks through the tactics of what it takes to have meaningful and regular discussions with your readers, viewers and listeners (on social media, in the comments and beyond). Pick up practical tips for creating the resilient communities that push your journalism farther and engage your audience deeply. Don’t close your eyes and plug your ears! We’ll talk through ways to make even the most difficult conversations worth having.
