Editor's Notes

Hey, journalism fans: In the midst of a continuously baffling election cycle, Klein News Innovation Camp is returning this Saturday, Nov. 14, via Technical.ly and Temple University's Klein College of Media and Communications.

 

The daylong (and free!) unconference will convene serious conversations and guide practical applications of best practices for driving the future of news, especially among local newsrooms. See our recap of 2019's event for a better idea of what that means, and peep this year's speaker lineup — including journalism pros from Vice News, The Washington Post and Chalkbeat — on the registration page.
