At RJI Pivot Point Chicago, working groups on Tuesday afternoon addressed three questions designed to help initiate the project-building process:

  • What functions should the news “industry” fullfill (for communities)?
  • What structures or elements might be useful to do so?
  • How might key processes operate?
