How will your journalism build a better world? In this session, participants will analyze the strategies journalists use to heighten the impact of their stories by evaluating examples of how journalism by Pulitzer Center grantees from several news outlets have inspired change in their communities. Participants will then define the impact they want to have as journalists. Guided by those definitions, we will use an impact framework to plan how our stories can reach the people who need to hear them most and equip communities with the information they need to make change.
