Many newsrooms segment audiences by loyalty, topics, geography and demographics. @azirulnick shares how LAist switched to segmenting by what motivates people to engage in public life (read: not just civic life) and the benefits the newsroom has seen since switching. #mediaparty
ALT Slide reads: "if we analyze and segment based just on demographics or geography, we will design and deliver journalism in ways that accentuate people's differences."
ALT Slide reads "Can we segment based on what motivates people to participate in public life?"

Trust indicators project encourages focusing NOT on the angry/disengaged voters, but if the concern of #knightcomm is political fragmentation and that is where trust is lowest, shouldn't that be the main place where moving the needle matters?
