Welcome to the Listening Post Collective

Dr. Paulette Brown-Hinds, local publisher, community leader, and social justice advocate, shares how she’s leveraged some of the insights and recommendations from our mapping work to build a vision for a representational and accessible news and information ecosystem in the Inland Empire.

As a celebration and call to action, we have compiled a list of partners and grantees in our Collective who are currently accepting donations through their websites.

The NYC-based newsroom sat down with us to share how the Civic Information Index is helping them invest in parts of the country that need high-quality immigrant media the most.

One year after its launch, the Civic Information Index is serving as a framework for the next generation of civic media leaders—like Andrew DeVigal’s Engaged Journalism class at the University of Oregon.

NC Local News Lab Fund Director Lizzy Hazeltine has been driving a more ecosystem focused approach to funding local media. As she collaborates on this model around North Carolina, she’s been using the Civic Information Index to provide some background data on each county she considers and what their unique needs are when it comes to information ecosystems.
