Community Insights | Elections: A Hook to Engage Your Community

2:00 PM ET Wednesday, August 22, 2012

With the presidential campaign entering the final stretch, now's the time to plan how you'll complement your political coverage with engagement.

Learn what your peers are doing to engage the electorate. And get ideas for your station. Join us Wednesday, August 22, at 2:00 p.m. for a discussion about how to engage your community in civic and civil conversations leading up to the election.

We’ve rounded up a great group of panelists to inform your thinking:

  • Rachel Hubbard, KOSU, will talk about how KOSU’s successful Policy and a Pint series gets people talking about the issues. 
  • Michael Caputo, APM, offers tips and example of taking voter insights and turning them into stories that address issues important to the community. 
  • Rob St. Mary, WDET, will tell the story of the Detroit Agenda: When WDET reporters hit the streets to interview 500 residents about their concerns for the city.

The Community Insights series is brought to you through a partnership between APM and NCME. We’ll deliver a step-by-step approach to bringing the community into your journalism – from digital engagement tools to live events and more.
