First Media Corps Briefing: WordPress 6.6 with Anne McCarthy

Following this recent Media Corps update and call for participation, we will host a briefing with Anne McCarthy (@annezazu) exploring the WordPress 6.6 source of truth. This session aims to provide Media Corps partners with an overview of the key features and updates in WordPress 6.6 and address questions about the release. It will also serve as a pilot, allowing us to test the format and gather feedback for future briefings.

What to expect

During this session, media partners can gain insight into the source of truth and key updates planned in WordPress 6.6—scheduled for release on July 16—to help their coverage and reporting.
