A panel of distinguished digital journalists gathered on Friday afternoon for a lab lesson. They discussed a common challenge of connecting their newsrooms with their communities.
RTDNA celebrated successes, honorees won awards, candidates campaigned, and the current chair confirmed his successors.
The executive director and former chairman of RTDNA, Dan Shelley quickly amped up the energy of the room when he shared the organization’s achievements over the past year.
From upgrading webinar training to planning innovative workshops, the organization “has had a very active year,” Shelley said.
As of now, 16 corporate member companies have partnered with RTDNA.
Shelley eagerly announced the newly implemented award honoring audio podcasts and handed off the microphone to RTDNA’s current chairman, Jerry Walsh, to announce the recipients of the existing awards.
