The citizens agenda is a way for news organizations to ensure that voters get the information they need from the politicians competing for their votes, in order to make the best decisions they can

The approach can be used for any type of election: school board, local government, state government, national or otherwise.

In order for newsrooms to adopt a new kind of thinking, process and behavior, it takes more than one passionate person to make lasting change happen. This readiness assessment is designed to give you a sense of how easy or difficult it might be to get a citizens agenda model deployed in your newsroom, so you can go in with eyes wide open around any challenges..
