Leadership + Strategy + Culture

Building a Playbook Together for Newsrooms Navigating Polarized Issues

Friday, September 12, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT
Area of Focus: Resilience
In this practical, hands-on working group session, connect with fellow newsroom leaders tackling some of today’s most polarizing stories — from immigration and climate to abortion and gender. Explore how peers are rethinking policies, sourcing, data practices, safety protocols, funding models and more to uphold trust and resilience in an increasingly charged environment. Together, we’ll crowdsource effective strategies and build a collaborative tipsheet that you can take back to strengthen your own newsroom’s approach.
