How did you know this is information Newark residents needed?

Outlier Media conducted a city-wide SMS (text message-based) survey that assessed Newark’s information needs. The collaborative also partnered with Groundsource to learn more about information needs and the hopes residents have for our city.

The survey asked participants about the challenges they currently faced, upcoming challenges they foresaw, and the resources they needed. Outlier also used information from the United Way 211 System in its information needs analysis.

Outlier found that some of the biggest information gaps were economic challenges relating to utilities, food, housing, and support for virtual education. The most severe information needs in Newark involved COVID-19 and food insecurity.
