The Local Journalism Foundation Inc.

Mission

Our vision is of a more aware, cohesive, and participatory citizenry, celebrating our community, and optimistic in its future.

In this more perfect union we’re working toward, all of our neighbors are empowered with the information they need — to make informed decisions, to hold those in power accountable, and to create positive change in our community.

The Local Journalism Foundation was created to reverse civic decline through storytelling and citizen engagement. Our theory of change is that democracies work best with diverse and representative, abundant, high-quality, trusted, useful, and free-flowing information.

The Local Journalism Foundation will deliver this and realize its vision as a Civic Media Venture.
