In a new information age, news outlets are partnering with public librariesDallas in particular is a hub for library-media collaborations.
This level of trust makes libraries a good place for journalists to engage with the public. Tom Huang, the assistant managing editor at The Dallas Morning News, spearheaded outreach to the local library system. He said libraries offer an avenue for journalists to keep their work relevant in a changing world.
“I’ve always said newsrooms can’t afford to be the traditional ones where we’re closed off from the community,” he said. “But that’s a lot of hard work. And, since libraries have largely figured that out, why not partner with the libraries to do that?”
