In this lively chat, De Correspondent co-founder Rob Wijnberg and Hearken Founder and CEO Jennifer Brandel will tackle one of the most important challenges for journalism today: building a news organization that restores trust in journalism. We’ll get a close look at two innovative — and very different — models for engaging readers in the news-making process. Plus, we’ll discuss how optimizing for trust in news can inspire your community to become paying members. We’ll have some fresh data and insights to share, so be ready for an action-packed talk!
