In April 2022, Mississippi Today published the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Backchannel,” an exhaustive investigation by journalist Anna Wolfe uncovering the depth of a sprawling welfare scandal that plagued the state. 

In order to maximize the impact of the yearslong investigation, Mississippi Today’s audience and editorial teams collaborated closely with Anna and her editors to create a meaningful distribution and engagement plan.  

Below is a template of Mississippi Today’s distribution plan and audience impact tracker. Feel free to make a copy and adjust based on your organization’s needs.
