Welcome to the Hub website for the Northern Colorado Deliberative Journalism Project, administered by the students and faculty in the JTC 420 Deliberative Journalism class at Colorado State University. All content produced by the class will be published here, and distributed via social media channels related to the class.
Deliberative journalism is a developing style of local journalism that focuses on helping a community have the difficult, nuanced conversations they need to have to address their shared problems more productively. Deliberative journalism overall seeks to combine the best practices of traditional journalism with key insights from deliberative practice, while also borrowing from social psychology, argumentation, conflict management, and several other recent journalism innovations, such Solutions Journalism, Collaborative Journalism, and Dialogue Journalism. The goal is to re-invigorate local journalism by providing a critically needed service to communities: facilitating quality public discussion.
