Local News Initiative
The Medill School of Journalism in partnership with the Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle and The Indianapolis Star launched the Local News Initiative. The initiative's objective is to learn more about how audiences interact with local news and identify new approaches for delivering it.
I was selected to be a Design Researcher for the initiative and worked with the research consultancy, INSITUM, to study audience behavior and develop insights that informed ideation and prototyping of new local news solutions.
I helped strategize the initiative's research approach, designed protocols for diary studies and field research and conducted stakeholder and audience interviews in the field.We synthesized interview data and identified key insights to share out with all three learning lab partners.
Please see the initiative’s findings here.
