AP publishes its findings in a new report with insights shared by almost 200 local news leaders across the U.S. The report is a rare glimpse into what is happening at the local level when it comes to technology and newsrooms managing the onslaught of information with a shrinking operation. AP also has a free, six-week online course that identifies needs discovered in our national scorecard. The series offers live classes, recorded tutorials on tools and techniques to better automate newsgathering, production, distribution and business-side tools.
