SUMMARY:Local News in a Digital World: Navigating the New Information Era
DESCRIPTION:The New Mexico Local News Fund invites you to join us for the 2026 NMLNF Summit\, a two-day national gathering focused on the future of local news and information. While rooted in New Mexico’s unique communities\, this summit is designed to welcome participants from across the United States who care about how local news works—and how it can work better. \nIn today’s rapidly shifting information landscape\, the stakes have never been higher. Local news is under pressure from shrinking resources\, misinformation\, and the challenges of digital transformation. At the same time\, communities everywhere are innovating\, creating new pathways for truth\, trust\, and civic connection. This summit is about bringing those efforts together—across states\, sectors\, and experiences—to build a stronger information ecosystem for us all. \nTopics we’ll explore include: \n\nAI + Cybersecurity in journalism and nonprofit communications\nFunding Models + Sustainability for local and rural news\nCivic Engagement through community-led storytelling\nBilingual/Multilingual Media and expanding access to information\nStudent Media + Emerging Voices shaping the next generation\nPhilanthropy’s Role in building equitable information systems\nTech + Storytelling Tools that are practical and people-centered\nCreative and Nontraditional Formats—from performance art to zines and beyond\n\nWhether you are reporting from a rural town\, experimenting with bilingual coverage\, researching technology’s impact\, or funding media innovation\, this summit is designed to create space for collaboration and action. \nWhy Attend? \n\nConnect with peers and partners across journalism\, philanthropy\, education\, and technology.\nLearn practical tools and strategies for strengthening local information systems.\nContribute to building a more sustainable\, equitable\, and community-centered news ecosystem.\nBe part of shaping the conversation about what comes next for local news in New Mexico.\n\nTogether\, we will imagine\, collaborate\, and take action toward a stronger\, more connected local news ecosystem. \nAccommodations & More Information \nWe’ve secured a room block at Hotel Parq Central with special summit rates available to attendees. For details on accommodations\, travel\, and ongoing summit updates\, please visit our website. \nWe believe access to conversations about local news\, technology\, and community should not be limited by cost. A limited number of summit stipends (up to $250) are available for those who need support with registration or participation expenses.\nIf you are requesting an attendance stipend\, please let us know which ticket you are seeking (one-day or two-day) and whether you need support for registration only or also for travel-related costs. No additional documentation is required. Submit via email to: summit@nmlocalnews.org.\n* Please purchase tickets seperatly for each attendee so we can ensure proper registration and name badges are generated. *
