A commitment to serving community needs
We support founders meeting information needs in communities unserved, underserved or historically harmed by legacy media.
Supporting marginalized voices
News organizations should be representative of their communities: people of color, women, gender-diverse individuals, and those without formal journalism training should be a part of their community's story.
Agency for our members
Our founders know their communities best and always have the final say in what's right for their newsroom.
