Journalism New England is a startup non-profit organization working to build and sustain local news and insure that local news organizations are supported with the kinds of tailored problem-solving, partnerships and funding they need to succeed.
Our Mission
To ensure all New Englanders have
access to credible, local news.
Why does local news matter?
Despite eroding trust in media, the overwhelming majority of Americans say that local media is important to their community.
Local news delivers a shared set of facts for discussion, disagreement and action.
Local newspapers are economic engines, creating jobs in the community and helping local businesses thrive.
Local news creates and deepens community connections by highlighting what matters to you
Our Vision
Credible, local news gives New Englanders the information they need to act and improve their lives and the lives of their neighbors. It cuts across political divides to cover meaningful community issues. From school board action to town committees — schools sports, community events and business openings, environment, economic forces, and storm damage — local news has a beat on the community and what matters most. We believe everyone in New England deserves access to credible local news.
Independent media is needed more than ever to promote transparency and accountability in our institutions and it’s being hollowed out creating and deepening divisions.
Local news is a great equalizer and tool that improves our lives.
Local journalism serves the public interest, improves trust in each other, and in institutions and increases civic engagement.
Journalism holds elected officials to account, uncovers corruption and makes government more efficient.
Journalism New England is making a difference.
