Though widgets, pixels and collaboratives have tried to make it easier for newsrooms to republish each other’s work; a centralized, efficient and reliable way to make it happen has proven elusive. Newsrooms are often emailing each other or cutting and pasting from each other’s websites to share and republish content; which is time consuming, clunky and requires having someone dedicated to discovering or sharing the work to get it republished.
Addressing this need was one of the biggest takeaways from interviews and a survey RJI and the Climate News Task Force did over the past few months to conduct a needs assessment for the ideal content republishing tool. We talked directly with and received input from a variety of professional newsrooms, student newsrooms and journalism organizations across the country. These included the Chilkat Valley News, The City, KOSU Radio, Deep South Today, WNCN and 32 others.
We are setting out to build a platform to not only make it easier for newsrooms to share work for republishing, but to expand the reach, impact and discoverability of republishable content that aligns with your values, mission and audience.
