This Month in the VIP Classroom!

What is the role of Journlism in your Community?

In Communities we have focued a lot on bonding capital – the notion that you need to produce moments of bonding for your community members to come together around. In this VIP class however we would like to dive a bit deeper and focus on a different kind of bonding capital – the Briding capital of journalism.

By interfacing with and leveraging journlistic integrity you can build stronger connections between communities and form better relationships with other ccommunities. Use this to create a better sense of information-diets, find information you never would have found otherwise, and cretae a shared sense of understanding about the world your members participate in.

Attend this class to learn:
1. Optimize your content strategy for external sources
2. Listen for content that your community may finnd useulf
3. Sort through the information that is most imporvant to users
4. Increase Engagement and awareness of your community

About VIP Workshops
On the second Tuesday of every month, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm, we host a hangout session exclusively for our VIP members to provide a space for us to connect with each other and engage in meaningful conversations. Each month, we’ll have a specific topic to discuss that is related to coursework, webinar information, or something we can learn more about if we’re interested!

Topics can range from our community’s current curriculum to some random topic I’d love to go more in-depth on. Naturally, though, we will also have a ton of collaborative feedback and suggestions, so it’s a brilliant chance for us to connect with our most valued members.

So mark your calendars, VIP members! Our monthly hangout sessions are not to be missed. We can’t wait to chat with you all and discuss the latest community happenings. Join us on the second Tuesday of every month, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm, and let’s hangout together!
