Post by Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY

We’re excited to announce Dave Jorgenson will the keynote speaker at Homecoming 2026! Dave helped build one of the most influential news presences on TikTok, launching The Washington Post’s account in 2019 and growing it into a multi-platform audience of millions. Last year, he co-founded @Local News International, an independent media company focused on reaching audiences who don’t typically engage with the news. He’s now building a fast-growing following across TikTok, YouTube, and his newsletter, experimenting in real time with what the future of journalism can look like. At Homecoming, Dave will join the Newmark J-School for a conversation about reaching new audiences and how journalism is evolving. Want to hear more?
