I'm a believer in community, I've been deep in that world for many years (building a business and also writing about it), the challenge with going deep into conversation is that it's generally exhausting for people to do and also follow.

Good/deep/real conversations are required, and then I believe journalists need to do something meaningful with those insights.

I call it the 80/20 rule of community conversations: https://rosie.land/posts/the-80-20-conversations-rule-of-community/
