On The Ground
Soapbox Cincinnati and NKY thrives reported on five city neighborhoods including Walnut Hills, Covington, West End, Camp Washington, and Westwood continuously in the “On The Ground” series.
For each series, Soapbox gathered community residents, stakeholders, community councils and development organization partners to determine what stories the neighborhoods would like to tell. The community-shaped editorial calendar resulted in many of our favorite feature stories reported on between 2016 and 2020. There is genuine interest in urban communities that are often underreported and underrepresented in local media, especially during 2020, which was a year dominated by the national election, a pandemic and misinformation.
Soapbox hosted a weekly Community Open Newsroom in conjunction with the Walnut Hills series in the winter of 2020 headquartered at Caffè Vivace. Twenty-two neighborhood champions joined our live broadcasts hosted by Kathryne Gardette. Our Community Open Newsroom closed at the start of the nationwide COVID shutdown.
