Chapter Two explores an effort to involve residents in the process of making journalism. It follows the case of Curious City, a series produced by WBEZ Chicago public radio that invites listeners to nominate questions about Chicago that they want reporters to explore, using the Hearken digital engagement platform. Curious City undertook a foundation-supported experiment to determine the most effective outreach strategies to elicit participation from residents of historically stigmatized majority Black and Latinx neighborhoods as well as some majority white suburbs. The chapter finds that through offline engagement they strengthened, to a limited extent, what communication infrastructure theory calls “storytelling network” ties –particularly the links between local media and community members. However, because they failed to establish two-way connections with residents, stories were often told about communities without giving residents in those communities opportunities to listen to stories and participate in dialogue.

Chapter One introduces an example of how communication infrastructure theory can be used to diagnose the communication health of communities and to design an intervention in response. It also explores the role of place in influencing relationships between actors in local storytelling networks—in this case focusing on majority Black and Latinx communities in South Los Angeles that have historically been stigmatized by negative news representations. The chapter outlines a research-based intervention that sought to strengthen weak connections between local news outlets and community organizations by bringing representatives together to produce a series of solutions journalism stories about South LA. These stories were then discussed with South LA residents in a series of focus groups. While residents responded favorably to the solutions-orientation of stories, they wanted to see local media take steps to address power imbalances and to involve communities more in the process of making journalism.

Chapter Five situates the cases explored in this book within the larger landscape of engaged journalism and solutions journalism in North America. It offers several mini-cases of solutions journalism and relational engagement that are centered not on newsrooms, but on communities and their needs. Focusing on the perspective of journalists, it features organizations including Capital Public Radio’s Story Circles, Center for Investigative Reporting, City Bureau, The Discourse, Free Press News Voices, Listening Post Collective, Outlier Media, Resolve Philadelphia, and Your Voice Ohio. The cases look at how these groups assess local information needs, use community organizing strategies to build relationships with community stakeholders, and grapple with challenges around funding and evaluation. Through interviews with leaders of these groups, the cases illustrate how these community-centered projects are pushing boundaries of journalism, and how norms and practices must be reimagined for journalism to contribute to stronger local communication infrastructures.
