*Our discussion question: *How is your community thinking and acting on the
issue of access to quality news coverage in rural communities and Native
nations, as well as building trust and accurate rural narratives through
national media?

*The challenge: *Many rural residents and rural-based journalists maintain
<https://aspencsg.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b551d018f08dff51178c763b7&id=d1138ab87d&e=fe142dac21>
that much of the recent national coverage of rural America and Native
nations portrays rural areas inaccurately and that rural people rely
heavily on social media as their primary source of information. As a
result, rural and Indigenous voices are missing from conversations on
important issues, from climate change to inequality. At the same time,
rural people lack coverage of local issues and face increasing
disinformation.

*The opportunity:* Accurate rural narratives, driven partly by high-quality
journalism, present an opportunity to help build trust and new
relationships across geography. Increased local media gives rural and
Indigenous people more timely and credible information about their
community. Advancing these two issue areas builds toward equitable rural
prosperity.

*We want you to join the discussion! *Anyone and everyone interested in how
accurate rural narratives, equitable information access, and national media
coverage of rural areas can help their rural community or Native nation
should plan to attend to share a success story or experience and to hear
from others.

We will kick off the gathering with a quick, optional peer networking
meet-and-greet. Then the whole group will engage in a conversation
moderated by Bonita Roberston-Hardy, Aspen CSG’s Co-Executive Director. You
don’t have to share your voice to participate in the event; we encourage
you to send insights in the chat or simply listen. *All are welcome.*

Based on research and best practices from the field, this framework shows
what needs to be true within both a local-level and systems-level theory of
change for equitable rural prosperity to occur.
*Thrive Rural Open Field sessions are relaxed, conversational virtual
gatherings where rural and Indigenous community and economic development
professionals can meet, share stories, swap lessons, and build community.*
