Love seeing projects have long legs🕷Like the volunteering newsletter Judith Langowski worked on as part of Agora Journalism Center's Engaging Communities program. What an evolution from our 1st strategy sessions in Portland to a well-deserved Nieman Lab top story!👏

Good to see an uptick in various initiatives trying to map both the growth/presence and loss/absence of newsrooms - I've listed just a few in the tweets in this thread, but do let me know of others you've come across...
