Welcome to The Next Newsroom Project

This new era of journalism is creating many versions of the "Next Newsroom." But there are five principles we believe all newsrooms should embrace:

1. Place community at the center 2. Make innovation a priority 3. Publish to all platforms 4. Collaborate with others 5. Promote transparency
The next question for each of these principles is: How? Our mission is to help figure that out. Please share your ideas, lessons and knowledge with us here.
