- The historic and expanding news deserts diminish civic engagement and fuels mis\/disinformation<\/li>\n
- Even in places that have robust traditional news ecosystems and are not considered \u201cnews deserts,\u201d there are whole communities who still lack equitable access to information. Legacy journalism often misrepresents or ignores altogether the stories of BIPOC and immigrant communities<\/li>\n
- Equitable media leaders need more support + advocacy systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Our Vision<\/h3>\n
At the Listening Post Collective, we envision a world where everyone lives not in a news desert but in an information garden, where everyone has access to high-quality, culturally-relevant, civic information in accessible languages and on issues that impact them.<\/p>\n
We see a future where civic power is strengthened by equitable<\/a>, civic media<\/a>.<\/p>\n
