Rebuilding the roads, bridges and power lines of local news

Knight has made progress in supporting local news infrastructure, but there’s more to do

Posted

Over the past decade, innovators have helped build a robust ecosystem of local news infrastructure to provide services, tools, expertise and technology to the industry. This includes dozens of organizations and programs, including the American Journalism Project, Tiny News Collective, Newspack, Indiegraf, URL Media, News Revenue Hub, CatchLight, LION Publishers, the Institute for Nonprofit News, ProJourn, The Video Consortium, BlueLena, News Literacy Project, Big Local News, Muckrock, Lawyers for Reporters, the Knight x LMA BloomLab, NewsMatch, Knight Elections Hub, Report for America and so many more.
