The Beacon, a prominent Midwestern news nonprofit that began publishing news coverage in Kansas City in 2020 and expanded to Wichita in 2021 with almost $4 million raised from local philanthropy and the American Journalism Project, is shutting down its Wichita newsroom three years after its launch.
“Our vision hasn’t changed. We’re thinking beyond our newsroom and want to help foster a thriving local news ecosystem,” reads a message to readers attributed to The Beacon Team published Monday. “However, we’ve realized that we can’t do it all, and have made the decision to no longer have a staffed newsroom in Wichita.”
