The American Press Institute is hosting a local summit on October 9-10 in Washington, D.C., to empower news leaders in enhancing residents’ leadership and influence over their community’s information ecosystem.
Individuals with deep ties to their community often want to make it better — but they may not see local journalism as a way they can contribute, or as an opportunity to further connect their professional and personal lives in that place. As local journalism looks to diversify its storytelling and audience — and faces challenges in both capacity and recruitment — news leaders have an opportunity to identify and create more on-ramps for community members to become journalists or otherwise contribute to local civic health. The potential to address the decline of local journalists in the U.S. may exist right in our neighborhoods. And, as communities across the country struggle with belonging and social isolation, such innovations might nurture a greater sense of civic “membership.”
This solutions-oriented convening will explore:
API’s Local News Summits are designed for news leaders who are actively working on the challenge and willing to share what they’ve learned (both in success and failure). They are highly participatory, invitation-based events that provide a welcoming and collaborative space to think boldly about the role of the free press in the future of our communities. We anticipate 80 diverse local media decision-makers and experts from outside of journalism will participate in this convening. Our participant limit encourages actionable ideas in an environment that facilitates open discussion.
While our summits are invitation-based, we want to grow this network.
If you are in a local or community-centered news organization and are working on projects that empower community voices, open the newsroom doors to residents or create pathways for your neighbors to become storytellers and active participants in their civic ecosystem, we encourage you to apply below for a remaining spot.
Make sure to submit your application below by Friday, August 29, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Please note that seats are limited for funders and journalism support organizations. Sponsors and supporters help make these interactive events accessible and increase the public resources we create from these events. We are grateful to Subtext and Influencer Journalism for their support of this summit.

Experts call change likely to pose problems for Americans with limited internet access ‘troubling to say the least’
Current and former Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) officials are concerned over a new agency rule requiring disaster victims to have an email address in order to apply for federal aid.
The policy change, first reported by Wired and confirmed by a Fema official to the Guardian, was “troubling to say the least”, said Jeremy Edwards, former spokesperson for Fema and the White House under Joe Biden’s presidency.

Britain’s promises of a post-Brexit green revolution have unravelled, with protections for wildlife, water and air weaker now than at any point in recent decades

Brexit has been terrible for environmental legislation in this country, since we left the EU in 2021. While the EU has strengthened its environmental protections, the UK has drifted away from those regulations, in some cases our politicians deciding to rip up EU environmental laws entirely.
I have been spending the past couple of years tracking this divergence, alongside some excellent analysts from the Institute for European Environmental Policy. And as we reported this week, it’s looked pretty bleak, with laws on important areas from air pollution to water quality weakened.

You won’t be able to have a cremation because the ovens won’t be allowed to run on fossil fuels, and hospitals will be forced to shut for more than half the year because they’ve emitted too much CO2.
Are you terrified yet?
Defence manufacturers would “be forced to close for much of the year at least”
The Royal Flying Doctor Service would not be able to collect any patients for eight months of the year “as we’ve exceeded our emissions permitted”
Cancer and maternity patients would be left to fend for themselves because “we have to close the hospitals for nine or 10 months of the year”
Funerals would be delayed because of something to do with refrigeration and “ovens” – honestly, you’ll have to work that one out for yourself
