Indie info providers, creator-journalists, news creators … whatever you call them, they’re reshaping how communities get news. But how do they establish credibility without the institutional backing of a newsroom? It’s a question facing a growing share of people working independently — and one without easy answers.
On June 1, CNTI partnered with News Creator Corps (NCC) for “No Newsroom, No Problem: Building Credibility on Your Own” — a conversation with four panelists working at different points of this evolving landscape:
• Rachel Lobdell, Executive Director at NCC
• Jay Barchas-Lichtenstein, Senior Research Manager at CNTI
• Phil Edwards, Independent video producer and YouTuber
• Terrill Haigler, Community activist and indie info provider, better known online as “Ya Fav Trashman”
• Moderated by Amy Mitchell, Executive Director at CNTI
