From audience to community: a conversation with Masuma Ahuja

From audience to community: a conversation with Masuma Ahuja — join News Creator Corps online (Virtual) on October 27, 2026, at 8:00 PM for Professional Development, days after The Infrastructure of Belonging publishes. Ahuja argues that loneliness, eroding trust, and lost shared stories are structural—not personal—problems rooted in community, economy, and platform design; creators already hold communities together through earned trust where institutions have struggled. Explore what belonging requires, how audiences differ from communities, and how to hold people together through a divisive election season, leaving with practical strategies to deepen existing relationships, turn passive followers into people who show up for each other, make virtual gatherings worth an evening, and design durable IRL events beyond one-time turnout—bring your fall or winter event plan.
