American Press Institute seeks local journalists' feedback on how to reimagine the newsroom after the pandemic

To that end, she's seeking local journalists' thoughts on seven major issues for a report on how local newsrooms can be rebuilt and reimagined.

Those questions include: "How will we hold onto the audiences we gained during the major news events of 2020?" and "How will we target and fight the most prevalent misinformation in our communities?" Click here for more, as well as links to forms if you want to submit your thoughts.
