The Local Journalism Project
Open Newsroom Truro
Next meeting: Saturday, January 18, 11:00 a.m.
The Provincetown Independent’s nonprofit Local Journalism Project invites community members to join in making local news more collaborative. The editor (and from time to time reporters and newsmakers) will be on hand to hear about issues that are important to you, and to answer your questions about the role of journalism in sharing news for and about the community. The Project’s Open Newsroom sessions are being held in each of the Outer Cape’s libraries. During the month of January, the meetings will be held on Saturdays to see if the time is a better seasonal fit for most people. Come with your thoughts and questions. Meetings are free and open to all.
