“…When these links are strong, researchers have found that storytelling networks tend to have higher levels of civic engagement and community belonging (Kim and Ball-Rokeach, 2006). But researchers have also found that these links can be disrupted by multiple factors including ethnicity, language, or the circulation of exclusively negative stories (Broad et al, 2014;Chen et al, 2013)-or when objectivity norms discourage journalists from collaborating with community organizations or other community stakeholders (Wenzel, 2020).…”

This study looks at a public media station’s effort to build a “mutual aid journalism collaborative” connecting a cohort of community and ethnic media journalists, podcasters, bloggers, and social media influencers, most of whom had a mission of serving Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities in a U.S. metro region. Using a communication infrastructure theory framework to explore how this initiative affected local “storytelling networks,” this study draws from observations, interviews with project partners and station staff, focus groups and interviews with newsroom staff, and focus groups with community members. The study reflects on how the project conceived of community engagement and how it positioned itself as “mutual aid” from within a mainstream majority white news institution. It examines how the project challenged dominant norms around “objectivity” as it strengthened connections between public media and grassroots influencers, but also the limitations the project faced connecting to broader community constituencies.
