• SRCCON:CARE

  December 8-9, online!

  Let's take a moment to focus on care. It is through care and connection that we will find ways through the multitude of crises facing us. Join us for two days of talks, hands-on sessions, and emergent conversations.

  SRCCON:CARE will focus on this powerful, nuanced theme that's come up in so many conversations in the past few years. Professor and author Eric Gordon once provocatively asked "What would journalism operate like if it's goal was to distribute the responsibility for care?" Relationships of care can be conceived of in so many directions: connections with ourselves, our colleagues, our communities, our supporters and the people who provide the expertise/experience that helps build our stories. Join us for a deep dive into what care looks like, feels like, and can achieve in the context of journalism.

SRCCON events are highly participatory and inclusive, where participants come first so they can can feel comfortable digging into complex problems. We organize the schedule around hands-on sessions, conversations, and workshops focused on the practical challenges that news technology and data teams encounter every day.

Session topics come from the community, with OpenNews providing the intentional space that takes care of participants and allows them to develop open, interdependent relationships with each other.

SRCCON events are produced by OpenNews. We connect a network of developers, designers, journalists, and editors to collaborate on open technologies and processes within journalism. OpenNews believes that a community of peers working, learning and solving problems together can create a stronger, more responsive, and inclusive journalism ecosystem. Incubated at the Mozilla Foundation from 2011-2016, OpenNews is now a project of Community Partners.
