Journalism That Matters is pleased to announce the Puget Sound Civic Communication Commons initiative is holding an open discussion for those interested in discovering how the commons will serve as an information hub and conversation place for news topics in the Puget Sound region. The discussion, which is part of a larger three-day initiative development meeting, is sponsored by “The Next Fifty and Seattle Center Foundation.”

The question the discussion will center around is: In what ways could an online civic commons contribute to the well-being of our communities?

This is the first monthly JTM initiative meeting in a series of public meetings scheduled through July 2011. For a complete listing of initiatives and an overview of each one please go to https://journalismthatmatters.org/content/jtm-pacific-northwest-update.
