    A journalist’s guide to making a difference (and how to prove it).

    Learn how to measure impact in journalism and why it’s becoming a valuable and necessary skill in today’s newsrooms. Set yourself apart by knowing not only how to do work that drives real-world change, but also how to make sure that change gets noticed. Learn how to tell the story of your reporting just as effectively as you tell others’ stories.

    We’ll share real-world examples of how experts in journalism and other fields measure the outcomes of their work. And you’ll come away knowing the best free and low-cost tools that are available to measure the impact of your work, quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as the hurdles to impact measurement that newsrooms still face.
