OpenNews

OpenNews fosters a collaborative community for journalists and creators, focusing on improving newsroom culture and processes. Through events like SRCCON, they promote peer learning, inclusivity, and support for making news better for all.

🎉Join us at SRCCON 2026 to celebrate 15 years of OpenNews!🎉 It&#39;s two days of building better newsroom culture and process together. But also so much more.&nbsp; We build SRCCON every year to meet the needs of a diverse community of data, tech, community and audience journalists &mdash; plus technologists, educators, organizers, creators, civic activists and safety folks. Basically anyone who wants to organize under the banner of making news and information better for everyone, not just those on top. This means our community-driven program is unique. SRCCON sessions favor connection, peer learning and interactive problem-solving. Facilitators are trained to invite people in and continue the conversation. We take breaks, eat well, socialize and do our best to help others and listen while we&#39;re together &mdash; offering the supportive, humanistic atmosphere that can help balance the &quot;Sturm and Drang&quot; of life in the &quot;industry.&quot;&nbsp; We offer community guidelines, safety and support lines, volunteer help (join us for free!), and (limited) scholarship tickets for participants who need help getting there. Donate to <a fr-original-style="" href="https://opennews.org/donate/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">OpenNews</a> to support more of these efforts! Thank you for the work that you do! We hope this event affirms how much it matters. If you have any suggestions, questions or issues, reach us at <a data-fr-linked="true" fr-original-style="" href="mailto:srccon@opennews.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">srccon@opennews.org</a>. We sell tickets on a tiered system. For ticket purchases, we&#39;ll show you three different price options. The descriptions are guidelines, not requirements, so please select the option that best matches your situation and budget. This system is not meant to imply people should feel obligated to pay a higher price. It&rsquo;s our attempt at responding to community feedback encouraging us to find ways to share event costs.
