Local Journalism (News Voices)
News Voices organizes with communities and newsrooms to transform local journalism. Join News Voices
Our communities rely on local news to learn about local issues, weigh in on civic debates, keep an eye on those in power, and elevate community voices. But you may have noticed that sometimes the media fall short. Local news tends to overemphasize crime and underreport community-based solutions. People of color are often ignored, misrepresented or maligned. And too many newsrooms that are working to provide informative local coverage are shrinking and shutting down. News Voices has developed strategies to help journalists and communities strengthen and transform local coverage so that people get the news and information they need. We’re here to support you as you work to transform your local media. Sign up and we’ll get you started. Name
