We’re so proud of what we’ve shared so far. We want to know what’s helped you the most and what you need next.

At the beginning of a working relationship, you act with more transparency as you get to know the other person. That same transparency is necessary for the after.

Our reporting found that people who grow up in St. Louis tend to stay in St. Louis: About 3 out of 4 young adults who were here at age 16 were also here at age 26. Here’s how you can use federal data to see where people are moving to and from in your area.

Building coalitions is tough, awkward work that leads to happier employees and better journalism products for our communities.

Newsrooms expect a lot from job applicants without giving much thought to what else could be going on in their lives. A freelancer applying for your job is not working on a paying gig. An edit test over a weekend means someone working full time is not getting space for rest. And the reward for all this work is: You might be a finalist—or you might never hear back. If you’re a newsroom working toward creating an inclusive culture, one that values its employees and their time, here are seven ideas to reimagine your application process.

The News Nerd Survey is back and needs your input.

To build teams where everyone feels represented and respected, create an environment where we all can bring our whole selves.

Not every internship is going to end with a job offer. Here’s how you can give your interns a boost as they enter the job market.

We recently received a request from a resident in Lincoln County, asking for assistance in locating data related to digital inclusion, in order to help enroll residents who qualify for the FCC Emergency Broadband Benefit. Information that can answer this question is collected by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey—the summary tables provide details on household computer availability and internet subscriptions, poverty status at various levels of the federal poverty line, and SNAP receipt. What the tables don’t provide is the intersection of these characteristics. To answer this, we need the microdata or individual record data. Here’s how we went about answering this question.

Highlights from a recent community call conversation.

New frameworks for leaders must help them develop a more equitable mindset that shares power and accountability.

Newsrooms must create ways for people to learn to lead without pushing people into management.

OpenNews events and programs have always welcomed honest talk about careers, identity, and our sense of belonging in an industry that often isn’t kind to workers. This series was another way to convene a community-wide conversation about our newsrooms and what it would take to make them better.

Going beyond a seat at the table for journalists of color.

If you’re new to accessible design, it may feel daunting to think of the work that lies ahead of you, but everyone in this field had to start somewhere. Once I realised accessibility was a baseline and not a ceiling, making my work more inclusive became an integral part of my workflow rather than an extra task between me and the publish button.

When I first found out that there were things I needed to fix to make my work in journalism more accessible, I went about it the same way I learned to code: going with the solution that appears most commonly among search results. I’ve spent the past year trying to course-correct by making an active effort to learn more.

Consider giving people multiple options instead of just one ticket price.

You can make free tickets easier for everyone with one simple change.
