"The hardest task for a small news startup — probably for most news organizations — is prioritizing. We can’t do everything well, so what can we do for the highest return on investment?” writes Anika Anand, 2014 MJ Bear Fellow and Director of Product at Chalkbeat.

Check out her latest blog for ONA, Engagement Strategies for the Tiny News Desk  for five things your newsroom can do now to better connect with your audience.

Also, we’re looking for 2015 MJ Bear Fellows! Fellows receive virtual group coaching by a personal advisory board, a three-year paid ONA membership, the opportunity to present at this year’s Online News Association Conference and Awards in Los Angeles, feedback on projects and connections to ONA’s robust network.

Meet Rajneesh Bhandari, one of the three 2014 MJ Bear Fellows. 

A former television journalist, Rajneesh coordinates Media Gufa, which requires journalists to be isolated in a room for 72 hours to report news stories using only social media and another group of journalists to report stories from a rural area without using the internet.

He also is working as data editor on an investigative project launched by Transparency International, teaches journalism at WLC College, Nepal, runs multimedia workshops for national and international organizations, and is working to improve digital literacy in Nepal by training young people in rural areas how to use digital tools.

MJ Bear Fellow Anika Anand discusses why she is interested in creating resources to help journalists grow and measure their impact. 

"I know it’s important to make those in power accountable and to shine a light in dark corners,” she says, “but once you actually do that, how do you know the difference that you’ve made if you’ve made any at all? I think this is a problem digital journalists are most suited to solve given all the tools at our disposal."
