We tackle timely challenges, needs and gaps to help build safer, stronger, more equitable, diverse and inclusive journalism, news spaces and relationships with the communities we serve. We serve small newsrooms and community-centered journalists. It is incredibly rewarding because, in my experience, they are the most forward-thinking and excited to experiment to find new ways to better serve our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley:<\/strong> And what do you do at RJI? Why did you join the team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kat:<\/strong> I am the director of innovation; I lead our <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.org\/innovation-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">innovation team<\/a>, which builds and manages all our innovative projects, tools, programs and initiatives. I joined RJI after years of working in newsrooms across the country as a visual journalist, editor and manager. I always loved managing teams in newsrooms but often felt like I wasn\u2019t provided with the resources to support my teams the way they needed and deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RJI offered me the opportunity to help journalists every day. I get to build tools, programs, training and opportunities that help them be safer and more supported and give them the cutting-edge skills they want \u2014 and I get to do it in a way that makes it accessible and affordable for them. It is truly an honor to do this work, and I am so thrilled every day I get to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley: <\/strong>What\u2019s a recent success story you\u2019d like to share about how RJI has helped a LION member collaborate with another outlet or institution, experiment with a new idea, or develop skills to improve their news business\u2019s sustainability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kat:<\/strong> Last year, I launched our <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.org\/news-events\/rji-symposium-in-service-to-our-communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Community-Centered Symposium<\/a>. I consistently hear from the newsrooms and journalists we work with that training and conferences are too expensive, and they have no support or resources from their newsrooms to access them. I also hear over and over that many small newsrooms and community-centered journalists often feel like they\u2019re working on an island, without a like-minded network to share ideas or help them when they need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I built the symposium, which helps community-centered journalists not only access an innovation-driven journalism workshop at very little cost to them (we provide hotel rooms, two meals a day and some flight scholarships) but is also built to make the collaborative experience as helpful to their day-to-day challenges and needs as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, we had our first cohort of 28 journalists who spent a weekend at RJI working and learning with each other and then went on to pursue <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.org\/news\/11-community-centered-projects-from-newsrooms-and-journalists-across-the-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new-to-them projects in their newsrooms<\/a>. I have loved working with these journalists over the past eight months to support, build out and launch their ideas in their communities. I can\u2019t wait for next year\u2019s group to get started. If you\u2019re interested in joining us in October, <a href=\"https:\/\/rji.submittable.com\/submit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">applications are open<\/a> through June 28!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley:<\/strong> What\u2019s one actionable, practical, low-lift tip you want to share with LION members?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kat:<\/strong> That innovation does not mean expensive, shiny or high-lift. You can do so many practical, useful and impactful things for your newsrooms and communities that won\u2019t cost you extra money from your budget \u2014 the most important step is to free up some space and time to try something new. Start small, listen to your communities and don\u2019t be scared to try something just for a few weeks or months and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley:<\/strong> What\u2019s one question you think the independent news industry \u2014 our members, academic institutions like you, support organizations like us, and funders \u2014 should be asking about the future of doing this work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kat:<\/strong> I think everything we do should be centered around \u201cHow does this help the communities we serve?\u201d I often see our industry get caught up in shiny trends or fall back on just continuing old-school traditions \u2014 rather than asking ourselves if what we\u2019re doing truly serves those we\u2019re here for. Are we listening to our communities or just assuming we know what they need? If we\u2019re truly here for them, they will see that through our actions and choices, which is what will build trust and investment in our newsrooms and our future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley:<\/strong> Are there any upcoming or future initiatives that RJI is working on that you want to preview for us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kat:<\/strong> We always have a few exciting things on the horizon! We\u2019re currently building a toolkit with <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.org\/person\/tara-francis-chan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Appeal<\/a> to share how to implement their worker-led processes, structure and policies. We hope this will help newsrooms embrace equitable power sharing, thriving wages and care-centered policies for their journalists. We\u2019re also building a resource with the KC Defender to show newsrooms how to replicate their <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.org\/news\/the-kansas-city-defender-toolkit-radical-black-press-and-the-future-of-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">community-centered initiatives and social strategy<\/a>. We announced our <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.org\/news\/introducing-the-2024-2025-rji-fellows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 fellows<\/a>, who will all be working to build useful and much-needed resources for journalists starting in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley:<\/strong> What\u2019s the best way for LION members and others to try or learn more about RJI\u2019s offerings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kat: <\/strong>I send out a <a href=\"https:\/\/rjionline.us17.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=f9bcc93437a0a9e32c246444b&amp;id=cca7e950c9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">newsletter<\/a> once a month with all our innovation team projects, programs, workshops and opportunities.
