From our ongoing strategic communications with Bay Area News Group, JStokes is pleased to announce some very exciting news. In a press conference held Thursday at The Oakland Tribune, facilitated by the team at JStokes, Bay Area News Group announced plans to open Community Media Labs centered on the theme: Listen. Engage. Learn. Share. These community newsrooms will offer Wi-Fi access, computers, blogging stations, spaces for community meetings as well as classes taught by the public and members of the news staff. Other exciting news is the announcement that that Bay Area News Group will not be rebranding the mastheads of its iconic newspapers, but will retain the original mastheads. Great news for anyone who grew up reading The Oakland Tribune, namely our fearless leaders and Oakland natives, Jim and Dan Stokes.
