    Grateful, inspired, and energized!?That's what we're hearing from some of the incredible journalists, educators, publishers, news leaders, funders and others who attended this week's NC News & Information Summit. We'll have more recaps and reflections soon, but couldn't wait to share some of the images taken by Elon's Tommy Kopetskie. A huge thank you to our session facilitators for sharing their expertise, our sponsors for making this event possible, and NC Central for hosting us. And of course, a special shoutout to our partner co-host North Carolina Open Government Coalition. If you snapped some nice shots and/or have takeaways from the Summit, we'd love to hear from you in the comments!

    • A group of people at NC Central's student union line up in front of a table for the Summit's registration.
    • A group of four people smile and chat with each other in NC Central's student union. Behind them, other people are lining up for registration.
    • Six people sit in chairs on a darkly lit stage for the Summit's keynote speech.
    • Caryn Sterling stands in front of a very large sheet of white paper and is coloring in the mountains at the top.
    • Several people hold up their phones to take pictures of a presentation on Movement Journalism in a meeting room at NC State's student union. The shot is from the back, but attendees seem very attentive.

    I do not know of other statewide local journalism ecosystems that are collaborating, investing and thriving the way North Carolina is. The rest of us need to pay attention. It was an absolute pleasure join Shannan and team at their summit this week.

    I'm still reflecting on our fourth annual NC News & Information Summit and will share more later about this powerful, meaningful day. For now, in my sleep deprived state, I want to just say how amazed, inspired and grateful I am to see nearly 300 people convene to share ideas, partner, learn new perspectives and connect with one another. As I told attendees in my welcoming remarks, I don't know a single other state that does this. And by "this" I don't just mean a statewide local news conference. This is a collective movement to support and strengthen local news in North Carolina, joined by people working in many different roles. This network and this movement is what makes our next chapter with NC Local possible. Throughout the year, I encourage my journalism colleagues from out of state or national organizations to come down to NC in March to witness our magic. A sincere thank you to several who came this year to join us: Jason Alcorn, Marcia Parker, Dean Baquet, Sona Patel, Emma Carew Grovum, David Grant, Ashley Woods Branch, Grace Northern, Christina Piaia, Rusty Coats, Max Resnik, Eli Flournoy, Benjamin Hamm, Joy Mayer, Priska Neely, Maria Elena Fernandez, and North Carolinians representing national orgs on our program: Alicia Bell, Andrea Faye Hart, Colleen Murphy, and more! And to all of our NC local news friends, partners, supporters: you're the best. ??

    It was a joy to be able to come home to my alma mater North Carolina Central University to co-lead a session with my brilliant friend Nadeen Bir at the NC News & Information Summit! Together, we explored using movement journalism as a tool to confront and dismantle anti-Black norms in the industry. It’s a conversation that’s always necessary, but it has become crucial in recent times. I’m appreciative to the incredible team at NC Local for their support in making this session a reality. And I am so grateful for the incredible journalists and media makers who trusted me with their time and their energy. Let’s keep fighting for a more just and inclusive media landscape!
