To me, the library is the needle that threads conversation, connection, storytelling and journalism through community life. That is the spirit of the Library Newsroom Project, which I founded in December 2023. The project tests what happens when journalism lives inside public libraries as a tool for connection, media literacy and collective civic storytelling. I built a newsroom in one branch, and I believe we can do this in more than 16,000 public library buildings across the United States.
