The Co-Lab
In addition to the free training we offer through our bureau meetings, the Lab hosts a monthly meetup for those working in journalism around Dayton — to strengthen the local community through networking, instruction, and the sharing of contacts, tips and resources.

We invite journalists of all stripes to participate — whether you're the managing editor of a local publication or newly interested in the field. Writers, photographers, illustrators, podcasters, radio producers, videographers and documentarians are all welcome, to learn from one another and possibly tackle new projects as a team.
We intend to foster an atmosphere of sharing and cooperation. The more everyone is willing to open up, the better.
Journalism is under assault from seemingly every angle. Budget cuts, shrinking newsrooms, declining readership, polarized audiences and an ever-changing technological landscape can exhaust even the most grizzled among us. We hope these monthly meetings can offer a brief respite — a shelter from the storm — where you can meet others in the area who share the same mission of building a better-informed community through journalism.
No registration is required, and you're welcome to bring friends.
