You just don't get to learn and hear from an entire news ecosystem for 3 days in one place that often; stunning location & conductorship from Claire Stuchbery and the LINA: Local & Independent News Association people : ) Some stuff that will stick with me for a while: hearing from Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) on media diversity measurement in 2024, i.e. the heart of the advocacy work by LINA and the Digital Publishers Alliance; defining + tracking impact and how do newsrooms challenge the statu quo; experimenting for new revenue streams when you're a one-wo/man news operation; learning about the practical use of Solutions Journalism at Missing Perspectives and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC); discovering micro media reporting models like *PS Media and debating the ins and outs of ad-based, subscriptions, donations & memberships models...
That's a wrap on our 2024 LINA Summit, and happy World Press Freedom Day! What better way to celebrate than to spend the week amongst gutsy, talented local independent news organisations. Our Summit has now come to a close, after two inspiring days of panel discussions, keynote presentations and collaborative idea sharing. Thank you all for joining us at this event, and a special shout-out to the Newsport team for being our welcoming local co-hosts here in Port Douglas.
