Our guiding principles...

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.
