Quick Summary of Outcomes<\/strong>
\nJanuary 10, 2012<\/p>\n

Anne, with her fabulous ability to find the essence of story named the throughline of the story we want told:
\nAt every level, how do we take responsibility for nourishing ourselves and others?<\/p>\n

Others supplemented with:
\n\u2022\tWe start with food and why there’s urgency.
\n\u2022\tWe tell the “big” story — context, policy, etc., and the “small” stories — the actions happening everywhere to address the need.
\n\u2022\tWe tell stories of possibility that highlight strengths and opportunities because they inspire people to get involved in solving the challenges they face.<\/p>\n

Next steps for the core team:
\n\u2022\tConnect everyone and get out the notes. (This quick summary from Peggy, edited by Anne, will be followed by a story from Jacob)
\n\u2022\tFollow up with those who were interested but couldn’t attend. (Peggy, Anne, Karma)
\n\u2022\tConvene the core team shortly — Karma, Anne, Peggy, David Ortiz, and Parker Lindner have volunteered. If you are interested, please let me know.
\n\u2022\tFollow up on the KCLS bus with the Issaquah Nourishing Network idea \u2013 a bus with computer equipment, a nutritionist, food, and a journalist. In a sense, an omnibus, with whatever is needed. (Karma, Jo)<\/p>\n

Some other activities people stepped up to pursue:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tCori Benson blogging (perhaps with Seattle Journalism Commons and\/or the Seattle Times)
\n\u2022\tConvening stakeholders with reporters at the Seattle Times (Anne and Peggy will explore with Carole)
\n\u2022\tJacob Caggiano and Karma Ruder working on an app to connect surplus food to those who need it.
\n\u2022\tLinda Benson will organize an effort to support community storytelling in her five areas of community activity.
\nAny other items others want to add?<\/p>\n

Focus of the news oasis:
\nConnecting community and journalists around issues of community need\/civic importance to:
\n\u2022\tTell stories that matter because they link to felt need in community.
\n\u2022\tSupport community members to tell their own stories (create, disseminate and use their own stories) and link them to the \u201cbig\u201d stories about the whole system.
\n\u2022\tReach out to professional journalists to amplify the stories, big and small (strategy: bring stakeholders to them).<\/p>\n

The connection between the News Oasis and the idea of nourishing ourselves and others:
\nA news oasis transforms the community story (narrative) about food and hunger from consuming & unequal distribution (lack) to the gift exchanges happening in:
\n\u2022\tthe food system
\n\u2022\thuman capacity building initiatives for change that are linked to needed policy changes
\n\u2022\tthe evolution of community interdependence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
