Latest Exclusives from E&P


MEET E&P'S 2023 CLASS OF "EDITORS EXTRAORDINAIRE"

In newsrooms across the country, editors bear heavy responsibilities — leading
the newsroom, determining what stories should be told and who is best positioned
to tell them, challenging assertions, developing talent, elevating journalism —
all while maintaining an unwavering commitment to the public’s interest. Their
names may not always be as familiar as bylined reporters or celebrated
columnists, but their insight, experience and leadership are indispensable. We
hope you enjoy meeting this exemplary group of E&P’s 2023 Editors
Extraordinaire.


THE SOMERS RECORD FINDS A KIDNEY DONOR AND SAVES A LIFE

Newspapers save lives. Many newspapers are recognized as vital local
institutions in their communities, but how many can literally say they have
saved a life? The Somers Record (one of six local newspapers owned by Halston
Media) helped a critical local patient find a needed kidney.



THE SHIFTING BALANCES OF PRESS POWERS. WHILE FIRST AMENDMENT CHAMPIONS WORK TO
AFFIRM THE FREE PRESS, OTHERS SEEK TO UNDERMINE IT

The past few years have been remarkable for news media publishers, which have
enjoyed some particularly public and powerful support. While champions for local
news in the U.S. Congress have been hard at work, powerful forces have been
running a counteroffensive — undermining the press, impeding access and making
it easier for members of the public and political class to sue news
organizations.

NY Amsterdam News 'Blacklight Team,' takes on COVID misinformation and gun
violence
The Black-owned and operated New York Amsterdam News covers local, national and
international news, including politics, Black wealth, education, religion, Black
history, sports, arts and entertainment, and news about unions. It also has an
investigative team and mission, “Blacklight.”

Navigating print frequency reduction effectively
With costs rising, many publications are looking for ways to cut down on
expenses in order to increase ROI. One such strategy for decreasing expenditure
might be a reduction in print frequency, but publications must consider the
effects of such a change on their brand and audience. Changing your print
frequency is a question that should be carefully considered.

Richmond T-D expands news leadership with video production and content
How do you sustain a long history as a community institution with a reputation
for integrity and journalistic excellence but also innovate without losing or
damaging what has been built? An innovation that has already proven its value to
the Richmond Times-Dispatch newsroom, readers and advertisers is a full-service
video studio installed in 2020 — and in the middle of the fourth-floor offices.

Membership models that create value for readers
The evolution of the newspaper industry is occurring in real time. It’s been
painful for some and a wake-up call for others to change their business model,
explore new revenue streams and, in the process, discover how to be more visible
and supportive in their communities. Many publishers, especially in local news
operations, are realizing the value of evolving from a traditional subscription
model to a membership model for their business, local citizens and the
community.

Pittsburgh newsrooms collaborate to improve DEIB
Distrust between Pittsburgh's diverse communities and the media is a significant

people and with the concepts around inequality and social class.”

The Charlotte Observer’s mobile newsroom boosts direct community engagement
The days of journalists swooping into a local community or neighborhood to
gather the news and then returning to work in isolation in a downtown newsroom
have ended for many newspapers. The Charlotte (North Carolina) Observer is the
latest to follow that trend with its mobile newsroom.

Covering violence and policing in a preventative (not reactive) way
When the nation watched George Floyd call for his mother and take his last
breaths from beneath a police officer’s knee in Minneapolis, it ignited a
wildfire across the country, calling for a reckoning on lethal policing. For
journalists, it started a national conversation on how best to cover police, how
to stay safe and how to identify our role as journalists in preventing the next
Floyd from making headlines in our own local newspapers.

The roadmap for local news. Switching from a crisis to an opportunity mindset
Experts determined to save local news launched a year-long process to research
and publish “The Roadmap for Local News: An Emergent Approach to Meeting Civic

leaders, journalists and local news innovators.

Exploring Advance Alabama's full out, all digital strategy
Advance Local's Alabama Media Group recently announced the end of the print
editions for their three newspapers: The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times
and Mobile’s Press-Register. However, even though the presses have stopped, the
newsrooms have grown in size. In this month's "News Media Today," E&P's Rob
Tornoe takes a look at how an "all in" digital strategy seems to be working for
Advance in Alabama and could be a model worth replicating.

Content automation and AI tools show promise for newsrooms, but they're not
without perils
For anyone in the business of news, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of those
topics that elicits emotions of equal parts exhilaration and despair. AI shows
groundbreaking promise in scientific fields and medicine, and Big Tech is keenly
focused on how to further develop its powers. E&P's April cover story centers on
the upsides & downsides of AI's inescapable entrance into our newsrooms.
