Citizens Agenda

As we have discussed on News Over Noise and our newsletter, the Citizens Agenda model for political journalism is an alternative to the business-as-usual horserace coverage that dominates in our news ecosystem. Rather than journalists waiting for politicians to set the media agenda, it flips the script and asks what the communities news orgs serve want their representatives to be talking about as they compete for their votes.
