“I learned about Gather and it was a complete game changer. Having the opportunity to think and create with innovative media professionals across the world is an absolute dream! It’s impacted my work in immeasurable ways.”
What People on Gather are Saying
“I believe engaged journalism and solutions journalism can elevate the relevance and reach of our reporting. I also see a need for a public square for journalists to come together and share what is (and is not) working. Gather is a forum for these things.”
“I keep searching for places where I can ask for new opinions, learn from someone else’s experience and share ideas to build a different kind of journalism. I really feel like Gather is one such place.”
“I heard about Gather and thought, “Yes, this is the group I need!” I joined the library last December after six years in documentary news and came to Gather to find support and ideas and to meet colleagues in the broader field of engagement.”
“I’m passionate about using search engines and optimizing for them for the good of newsrooms and of their audiences. I would love to have the conversation around sharing news via search get as big as the conversation around social, and hope I’m doing my part!”
“I’m interested in helping to eliminate barriers that keep journalism and information sharing exclusive. I love that Gather not only shares examples of how to create collaboratively with communities but is a collaborative community itself!”
“Gather folks really care about journalism, telling stories and looking for different ways to reach people in their communities with the information they want and need. I want to make a difference in creating relationships with people outside our audience.”
“I’m on Gather because there are so many ways that folks are practicing engagement across the world, and I always want to figure out how to iterate on ideas or fill in gaps that exist.”
“I was an OG social media editor for a newspaper back in 2011 and wish there had been a community as robust and inviting as Gather! I’m here to make it easier for folks breaking into the space, to share my knowledge, and continue learning from others.”
“I’m on Gather to learn, grow, share ideas, and collaborate with others who work in the audience-focused space! Learning from people at other organizations has been incredibly helpful for crafting our strategy.”
