THE TREND Low-cost digital tools have made media-making
more accessible. This has thrown a wrench in the business plans
of many publications, but many others evolving and adapting to fit.
There is a proliferation of communication skills and ability.
There are passionate communities of “doers” willing to help.
Bloggers have become legitimate media. We’re ready for distributed, more independent
organizations (technology enables this)

![Page 26: Changing local media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5406b29b8d7f7288088b46d9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR US? Our organizations need to become our own media We need to think about how we can produce content We need to empower staff, volunteers and tenants to tell our stories. We need to engage with the new media beyond press releases and statements. We need to partner with the media to tell a story – give them access over time, focus on the relationships, create engagement with our issues.
