ONADC February — A launch story: Dating in the digital age

When it comes to launching a new beat or vertical within your news organization, how do you go from idea to execution?

How do you stay focused when juggling projects and priorities? How do you mix experimentation with tried and true forms of coverage? And when do you decide to mix personal and reported material?

Lisa Bonos, who runs Solo-ish (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/), a new Washington Post section about single life, will talk about all these issues and more, in conversation with ONADC’s Matt Mansfield of CQ Roll Call.

Big thanks to Medill's Washington program — and its leader, Ellen Shearer — for hosting the first ONADC event of 2016.
