ComNetworkSF, a local group of The Communications Network, and Northern California Grantmakers invite you to join Atlantic Media Strategies, the digital consultancy of The Atlantic, for a look at the modern media mindset today.
We are in a time of unprecedented uncertainty—as an industry and as a nation. During times of ambiguity, audiences crave understanding. Foundations and nonprofits of all kinds are grappling with how can they emerge as trusted sources in the face of today’s chaotic media and political landscape. We’ll explore how foundations and other nonprofit organizations can bring their big ideas to life by reimagining what, where, and how they communicate in our increasingly unpredictable world.
