III. Feature Presentation: Discussion about local journalism and survey responses
JJ introduced Jeffrey Katz, Rachel Sadon and Monna Kashfi. He then explained that the WAMU content
teams have strategically decided to re-focus toward local journalism due the constraints of the budget
due to Covid-19. This will mean pausing the podcast Dating While Gray for the moment. Monna began
facilitating a conversation about the results of the questionnaire sent to council members in advance.
The questionnaire was a way for the Council to share ways they want WAMU to become all they need
for regional news and information.
• Creating an "ICYMI stories of the day" that DCIST has been running via Instagram for WAMU
stories.
• Hearing bylines from DCist reporters; it helps make WAMU more local.
• Offering “Breaking News” stories on WAMU more often.
• More neighborhood coverage (hyperlocal news) when possible.
