Better News serves as a platform where local news organizations who participated in the Table Stakes Local News Transformation Program can share actionable strategies with others experiencing similar challenges in navigating the ever-changing, digital-media landscape.

In this special year-end episode, Jan Ross Sakian, API's Table Stakes community manager, joins host Michael O’Connell to wrap-up the sixth and final season of the Better News podcast.
