CC: Media to launch community journalism program

There’s a gold mine of potential for stronger local journalism in Salem, and Capital Community Media has hired Meghan Jonas to start digging.

For Jonas, it’s a dream gig that allows her to combine her experience in journalism, non-profit funding and community outreach. 

As the organization’s first community news director, she’ll be leading their effort to create a program that trains citizens in journalism ethics and reporting to help improve the diversity of local reporting.
