<\/span><\/p>\n In today\u2019s news and information industry you hear people talk a lot about the local news crisis. Often, the conversation centers around \u201cnews deserts\u201d \u2014 places where local newsrooms are dying, leaving their communities with just one newspaper or no newspaper at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Traditional newsrooms are part of a healthy information ecosystem. But, they\u2019re only one part. For the United States to thrive as a true, equitable democracy, the goal can\u2019t just be to save legacy news.<\/p>\n At the Listening Post Collective, we envision a world where everyone lives not in a news desert, but in an information garden; where everyone has access to high-quality, culturally-relevant, civic information in accessible languages and on issues that impact them.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Our Civic Media Design process is what turns that vision into a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Listen” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Heading” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”70b7efaa-87f8-4419-a57e-e0a89c93bc15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Content” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We partner with people and organizations to develop local news and information solutions that help communities thrive. Fostering equitable media leadership requires trust and time. We work to listen, build networks, understand information needs, and develop real solutions through true collaboration.<\/p>\n The work can be challenging, but the process is straightforward: listen, seed, cultivate.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Contact us<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/listeningpostcollective.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Listen-Seed-Cultivate.png” title_text=”Listen Seed Cultivate” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Cultivate” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Heading” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”70b7efaa-87f8-4419-a57e-e0a89c93bc15″ custom_padding=”||2px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Information Ecosystem Assessments” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”3a4d932a-106a-4228-95a5-37607451b380″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nOur Three-Step Process<\/h2>\n
