Is the work you've done with Journalism New England a benefit to your organization?
How do you feel about the work Journalism New England has done for your newsroom?
Here’s what our partners say:
“For small publishers, it can feel like the role of the “journalism support organization” is to funnel money that might otherwise go directly to newsrooms towards well-compensated professionals who tell us what we should be doing with all the time and money we don’t have. Journalism New England is the first journalism support organization I have encountered that will actually roll up their sleeves and get to work alongside us”
“Working with Journalism New England on VTDigger’s strategic planning process is already proving transformative. Their thoughtful facilitation is helping our team dive deep into our data as well as step back and evaluate our mission with clarity. JNE’s understanding of the unique challenges facing newsrooms means this work is grounded in industry-specific factors and practicality. We’re developing a roadmap that reflects our values, engages our board and staff, and positions VTDigger to thrive in a rapidly changing media landscape.”
“It has been very insightful working with JNE. Speaking from my personal experience, working with Jason Brown has been a breeze. Easy to communicate with and responses have always been prompt. The UX help on our website alone has had a large impact, especially as we got finished in time for giving season. JNE has been a large help for us. They’re the outside eyes you need on your project to help you expand beyond what you can’t see internally.”
“I have only accolades to share about our work with Journalism New England. Erin’s attention to our specific situation was clear, yet she brought extensive experience and resources to bear on it. As a result of our work together, we have clear objectives for the coming years. Meanwhile, as a newsroom that relied exclusively on volunteer community writers, Career Lab was a tremendous shot in the arm. Not only did Erin and Katina make it possible for us to train four local fellows to learn the craft of journalism quickly and thoroughly, we ended up with some consistent motivated and talented writers.
Journalism New England is an extraordinary resource for our region’s community journalism!”
“Being a solopreneur can be a bit overwhelming. Jason met with me to review my website and was able to provide a fresh pair of eyes and a lot of knowledge. He recommended some changes and broke them down into manageable tasks. His encouraging manner and his great sense of humor made it fun.”
