Indie info providers, creator-journalists, news creators … whatever you call them, they’re reshaping how communities get news. But how do they establish credibility without the institutional backing of a newsroom? It’s a question facing a growing share of people working independently \u2014 and one without easy answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 1, CNTI is partnering with News Creator Corps<\/strong> <\/a>(NCC) for “No Newsroom, No Problem: Building Credibility on Your Own” \u2014 a conversation with four panelists working at different points of this evolving landscape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Rachel Lobdell<\/strong><\/a>, Executive Director at NCC
\u2022 Jay Barchas-Lichtenstein<\/strong><\/a>, Senior Research Manager at CNTI
\u2022 Phil Edwards<\/strong><\/a>, Independent video producer and YouTuber
\u2022 Terrill Haigler<\/strong><\/a>, Community activist and indie info provider, better known online as “Ya Fav Trashman”
\u2022 Moderated by Amy Mitchell<\/strong><\/a>, Executive Director at CNTI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come and learn what’s working, what isn’t, and what their combined research and experience can teach us about the future of independent media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
