The 2016 conference, The Way We Work Now, will explore how local reporting/research can best reach the broadest national audience. It is the first event in a year-long series of events called: What is the 21st Century Essay? a collaboration with the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities that explores the intersections of the humanities, journalism, and the environment to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prizes in Rhode Island.

Our lunchtime session "Meet the Press" allows conference attendees the chance to speak with our invited guests. Conference keynotes include Sarah Schweitzer, a features writer from The Boston Globe and 2015 finalist for the Pulitzer in feature writing, and Stephen Henderson, Editorial Editor of the Detroit Free Press and 2014 winner of the Pulitzer for commentary.
