Dot Connector Studio’s Director Jessica Clark and Director of Strategic Initiatives Nancy Watzman attended the recent Knight Media Forum in Miami. The gathering focused on how to strengthen local news, community and democracy, and provided insights from the Knight Commission on Trust, Media and Democracy. Nancy has been working with the Knight Foundation on public engagement for the commission over the last few months. Check out her five takeaways here.
