WHAT WE DO

The Local Journalism Initiative is committed to strengthening our democracy and our communities by strengthening local journalism in Delaware.

The traditional business model for local journalism is broken . . .
But Delaware still needs quality, independent local journalism that:

Provides
government
oversight

Gathers and shares
information the
community needs

Elevates
underrepresented
voices

Shares stories that
help us understand
our neighbors
