AdaptNY is partnering with the Online News Association and the Center for Community and Ethnic Media to offer an all-day workshop Feb. 22, aiming to use the innovative techniques of design thinking to help media and communities improve how they tell stories and share information about climate resilience.
The workshop will get off the ground with a power panel of top-flight climate experts from the worlds of journalism, science, government and environmental advocacy, addressing the problems of adapting to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather.
Then throughout the day, usability experts and coaches, including from pioneering media firm Digital First, will guide participants through a process of understanding what their users need, brainstorming solutions and sharing them for feedback from other workshop attendees.
The conference is hosted by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in mid-town Manhattan, and the $10 registration fee will include meals and a closing happy hour.
