Loeb School to Present at Annual NENPA Conference

On Thursday, May 4, the annual NENPA (New England Newspaper and Press Association) conference will feature a session called, News Philanthropy Summit: New Pathways to Funding Local News, with the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications’ executive director Laura Simoes.

The following is the conference session description and list of co-presenters:
To have a thriving, healthy community, the public, and policymakers need timely and accurate information that they can trust. When they do, we know, people can better understand the world right around them, make informed investments in their communities and become more civically engaged. As philanthropic and business leaders your missions are driven by those kinds of results. The same is true in journalism. We can accomplish our collective missions – a healthier, more connected state – when local news is strong. Join us for our News Philanthropy Summit to start the conversation on how partnering with local news organizations can help us achieve our common goals.
