to a couple of things, two things, particularly when we saw the way local journalism was going right, we saw the newspapers dying out, we saw that there was a need for, for bolstering local journalism, particularly for serving our local communities and our audiences. And we also know very much particularly in public media and a lot of media organizations across the country right now is that we are heavily under resourced across the level, it doesn't matter whether you're a small station or large station, or quite honestly, MPR. We just don't have the resources as some of the big media organizations that we were competitors that were considered our competitors. And that also started kind of showing up in the region where we already had station. And so we knew we had this system. As Kathy explains, we've got headquarters in Washington, DC, but we've got all these 250 member stations where we have 800 member stations, but as far as having newsroom 250 Other newsrooms that we wanted to tap into in a different way. And so we work together to form partnerships. The first one was the Texas newsroom. And there's four stations Cory will be talking to you in a little bit for stations by stations. that have come together that are prominent in the Texas area. But they've come together to work in a different way than they ever had before. And suddenly we're sharing resources. We're sharing reporters during breaking news. During a shooting during the ice power storm right? Before this, every single station with sending a reporter to the same story, we have found a way now to send one reporter a cover story and have our other reporters in other locations, work on stuff like digital and and do stories within their community. We spread it out. And we distribute in different ways. And now suddenly, we've been able to bolster the journalism in that area. After the Texas newsroom. We have Christina on our panel as well. We built the full state newsroom, and the California newsroom. But both state newsroom is a great example of really attacking, tackling a news desert. at NPR, we I ran a couple of shows. And I can tell you over and over again, the hardest place to get stories out of were Jackson, Mississippi, Birmingham, Alabama, and Louisiana. And so we went to the stations in those areas to say what can we do to resource each of these outfits better, to help you guys have better content in your space and distribute content across your stations together, but also elevate it to NPR. And what we've seen is not only are we getting some extremely well done impact accountability story in that stories in that area. And those four stations are sharing them with each other, thereby having more content regionally in the era area. But we've also seen a significant increase on MPRs air from that area within the past two years, to where quite honestly, like I said, as an EP running shows I almost never got stories out of because the stations just didn't have the reporting capacity. Again, I mentioned the California newsroom, which Adrian will talk to you about as well, where there's a lot of coordination as you can imagine a lot of stations in that area. And it's a real example of the benefit of what I call the trifecta, benefiting the local communities and audiences, benefiting the stations and benefiting NPR. Again, it's how they work together. They do investigations, they pull resources from other stations. And our last one that stuff had been up and running for the last year is the Midwest newsroom, covering several states in the Midwest. And it also has an investigative model. And it follows kinds of impacts and accountability. And just to talk about, you know, there's an example of a meeting in there, that really makes me think about why collaboration, why builds these what is the difference, and I remember sitting in one of the meeting, and they were talking about an impact and accountability story, they were working on it. And suddenly, you know, the one of the the GM I believe from from Iowa Public Radio was saying, Well, you know, we've got a visuals person that we can add to that story, if you need to use them. Let's go ahead and put this on this story as well. And then you've got the Kansas City Station thing, we've also got a data journalist that we can give to you. And then we've suddenly, a team that was just an editor at a reporter at one station became a huge reporting team with digital with social photographer, data reporting, and elevated into a space, it just makes a story bigger. And we were able to get the resources and apply it across all station and MPR as well. So that's the big picture when I'm seeing when we're planning these. And we do plan to do more of these, these four are really kind of off to the races and doing their thing in there areas. And we see the need for them, we see the benefit that they bring in their area, and to the audiences. We're telling stories that we've never told before because they can get in there. And we're coordinating in ways that we haven't before. And I will let the stellar managing editors on my screen dive into that more to tell you exactly how we're doing that.
