Newsrooms
The Modifier team wants to help your newsroom improve its coverage and build trust with your community. Whether you’re a local start-up, a national digital outlet, or a legacy newspaper, we have solutions for every stage of the editorial process. We work hard to support you in increasing the accuracy and authenticity of your reporting.
Language & Framing
Bring your team together to learn how editorial choices can build narratives that shape, and are shaped by, our communities. We lead interactive workshops (virtual or in person when safe) for newsrooms of all shapes and sizes. We can also customize our flagship workshop to include content areas of interest, like economic mobility, elections, protests and social justice, and more.
Collaboration
Our model has been replicated by dozens of reporting projects around the globe and we have developed a set of adaptable best practices for other collaboratives. Modifier is excited to support the development, implementation, or optimization of your collaborative relationships or reporting projects, regardless of their shape or scope.
Community Engagement
Modifier has developed a set of adaptable best practices for building trust and centering community voices in reporting. We offer support to newsrooms and collaboratives across the country, through trainings and workshops on building community/neighborhood partnerships and facilitating long-term trust-building.
