Engaging Emergence is the third conference collaboration between the Agora Journalism Center and Journalism That Matters. Following the success of Experience Engagement in 2015, which gave rise to Gather, we came together again in 2017 to co-host Elevate Engagement. After the pandemic and with the growth of engaged journalism and other community-focused journalism practices, we felt it was time to do it again!
The Agora Journalism Center at the School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC) is the University of Oregon’s gathering place for innovation in communication and civic engagement. Agora works to create and support transformational media innovations in service to civic engagement, and civic engagement that informs media innovation.
Journalism that Matters is a nonprofit that believes journalism matters most when it is of, by, and for the people. Journalism That Matters supports and equips the adventurers who transform relationships between communities and journalism for a strong, inclusive democracy.
