This week, the NC Local newsletter is taking a trip to the Carolina Sandhills, known for its abundance of longleaf pine, wiregrass and golf. With the US Open this week in Pinehurst, we’re sharing some lessons from The Pilot LLC & David Woronoff, who took a risk 25 years ago with Open Daily, a pop-up newspaper which has since grown over 8 championships to include pop-up newsletters, podcasts and even Golf Rock, a streaming music feed. The special coverage brings in a month of revenue in just one week.
Also in the mix:
➡ A Guilford County district judge continues to restrict the public’s access to juvenile court proceedings, reports Michael Hewlett for The Assembly's Docket newsletter. First Amendment experts say they’re violating state law.
➡ Want to deepen your work with the communities you serve? A new guide from jesikah maria ross & Center for Cooperative Media spells out how to do that by centering care and shifting from “sustainable” to “regenerative” journalism.
➡ Are you working on this Fall’s voter guide? Join an upcoming News Product Alliance community call to reimagine how to craft them to better serve audience needs.
➡ Plus, a terrific opportunity from Online News Association & Trusting News to help your news org refine and test AI disclosures.
