About the Seminar
The Knight Digital Media Center has published a special six-part series on
Total Community Coverage, explaining what news organizations can do to reach commonly overlooked groups differentiated by language, income, ethnicity, education, location, culture, age, and more. These strategies blend traditional, digital, and mobile media with practical community outreach skills.
