Cleveland Documenters In Action

May 6, 2022 from 9:30am - 12:15pm

Join Lila 米尔斯 and Lawrence Daniel 卡斯韦尔 of Cleveland Documenters to learn about the critical work this team is providing and how you can become involved.

In these days of electronic outreach and reporting, critical information must be accurately captured and shared in a world of fast-paced, 竞争“噪音.” Enter Cleveland Documenters. This local organization recruits, 火车, and pays Greater Clevelanders to document official committee meetings of the Cuyahoga County and City of Cleveland governments and contribute to a communal pool of public knowledge.

Learn more about this group—then sign up to be trained and paid $16/hour to document meetings and publish content on Documenters.org, where anyone can track public meeting schedules, agendas, and meeting minutes.

卡斯韦尔, Cleveland Documenters’ field coordinator, has worked in non-commercial community media for 27 years, including over a decade at Ideastream Public Media. 在那个时候, 卡斯韦尔 has gained experience in broadcast journalism, 多媒体, and social media production, while learning to use those tools to explore civic engagement and community building. 卡斯韦尔 is also a 2022 John S. Knight Community Impact Fellow at Stanford University.

米尔斯, associate director of Neighborhood 连接ions, the home of Cleveland Documenters, is focused on the overall goals of Cleveland Documenters and is responsible for establishing partnerships with local people and organizations, paying Documenters once documents are published, and editing documents.
Cleveland Documenters is in partnership with Chicago-based civic journalism lab City Bureau and made possible with support from the Visible Voice Charitable Fund of the Cleveland Foundation.
