In this session, a former journalist turned municipal communicator breaks down how local newsrooms function, what reporters actually need from government communicators, and how to make your stories more newsworthy.

Pearland and Baytown have made significant strides in strengthening public communication and digital outreach. Live streaming has become a powerful tool for informing residents, promoting transparency, and showcasing the work happening across the community. This webinar uses a clear three pillar framework to break down the value and practical steps behind effective live production:
1. Why We Do It Understand how live streaming supports strategic goals. We’ll highlight the role of live streaming in Council meetings, community events, project updates, and real time communication during weather related or emergency situations.
2. When We Do It (and When We Don’t) Some resident experiences work well for live streaming; others are better handled offline. We’ll outline how to decide when to broadcast and how to balance staff resources with public expectations.
3. How We Do It Explore the technical backbone of Baytown and Pearland’s approach — from simple, reliable streaming setups to full production workflows. Topics include technical suggestions and steps to get started.
Designed for communities of all sizes, this session provides actionable guidance to deliver consistent, resident focused digital experiences.
