Jake Batsell, a journalism professor from Southern Methodist University, organized a Twitter chat about engaged journalism under the hashtag #engagelocal. Other participants included journalists from Brooklyn, New Jersey, Tucson, and Red Bank, New Jersey. Batsell defined engaged journalism as the degree to which a news organization considers and interacts with its audience to further its journalistic and financial missions. He observed that audiences and sponsors are willing to pay for in-person experiences, niche audiences become more important at smaller scales, and the goals of engagement continue evolving. The group then discussed these topics on Twitter.

What is
engaged journalism?
My definition:
The degree to which a news
organization actively considers
and interacts with its audience
in furtherance of its journalistic
and financial mission.
