The Empire launches listening tour

Emily Russo Miller

Readers can play an active, participatory role in the news; "readers" are not just readers. They shape what makes the news by sharing what local news is important to them and what they want to see in the paper. They write letters, columns, articles and take photos. They fact check. They research. They provide invaluable news tips. They are potential news sources. They let their local papers know what (or who) seems corrupt and should be investigated. 

In the coming weeks, readers will see surveys in the Juneau Empire and online, asking how they think the paper is doing, what they think it could do better, what they like about the Empire and what they think needs improvement. Emily Russo Miller, editor, is officially calling this effort the Empire's Listening Tour.
