The Audience Community of Practice

The Audience Community of Practice is a group providing support for audience development news professionals.

The Audience Community of Practice provides organizational resources for community members in news organizations to share strategies, best practices, and resources. In addition to providing tactical programming and connecting the network, The Lenfest Institute helps members with strategic and operational questions of building teams and defining roles.

Now housed and managed by the Institute, the Audience Community of Practice was originally incubated in 2016 at the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at CUNY’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.
