2025 Local News Impact Summit
Held in May each year, this Charlotte Journalism Collaborative event creates an opportunity to go beyond the story. What happens if we come together to workshop solutions and share what we’ve learned across organizations?
The Summit provides an opportunity for residents and journalists to come together, eliminating the barriers between those working to address issues in our community and the newsrooms telling the story. You’ll hear from industry experts, community leaders and residents as we navigate the affordable housing needs in Charlotte.
Registration is closed. For last minute ticket questions, email director@charlottejournalism.org.
