Eversource Energy’s Post

My reflection on year one of my heritage-focused public engagement project with Ralph Wilson Park Conservancy is up! To end the year, I dove into the purpose of this project, the value of using the lens of heritage, and the challenges to a three time frame approach where past, present, and future can create synergy around a community space. https://lnkd.in/gMnCYX-4

Reposting this for 2 reasons: 1) If you love the Sierra Nevada🏔️, it’s important to know how much good work is happening to conserve this globally unique mountain range. Thanks to Sierra Nevada Conservancy and so many others.🙌🏽 2) This is a great way to share progress!💡The story map is short, clear and to-the-point. A great example of moving beyond long pages of reports. Kudos Sierra Nevada Conservancy!

Interesting work on making local journalism work and interesting comments from Martin Loat OBE about the balance between championing a town or area and scrutinizing what goes on there. I think you can do both. To take a slight change of tack from Owen Wyatt’s excellent video a local outlet might choose to aim a reporter at more business stories rather than court stories. Your coverage changes and starts from a position of covering successes or failures, good or bad. A court reporter is largely only going to turn out ‘bad’ news on whichever scally did something unpleasant that week. Like every outlet ever it’s about decisions made in the morning editorial. It’s easy to send to court because someone’s up for a mugging, and always depends on your traffic but sending to other stories takes a real editorial conviction. A front page or social vid on someone who’s winning in a town might also just stand a chance of bringing back news avoiders. Plus - you’ve always got the option to send your reporter to court if there’s a big case. I did this while co-leading a local news project for Sky years ago. Won a great audience but Sky pulled the plug anyway🤷♂️
