Our social media channels and direct emails are our most effective way of engaging our audience. We've also had great success with hosting Live Chat digital events on our website in collaboration with partner publications (WebMD, New York Times, Huffington Post). These are generally a panel discussion where experts discuss an issue and respond to reader questions directly. This opens the dialog up and engages our audience in the conversation around one of our investigations.
