Reimagining the Public Square: Supporting Local News and Civic Engagement

Build your place

Hear about efforts in Colorado, which has been internationally recognized for rallying foundations, higher education, civic leaders, businesses and individuals to address the crisis of declining local journalism and its impact on communities. Philanthropy can plan a pivotal role in catalyzing and supporting new approaches to local news, that combat the fragmentation of local journalism, the deluge of disinformation, polarization in our civic dialogue, and widespread mistrust by taking a collaborative ecosystem approach to addressing challenges in local media and promoting more equitable civic engagement and civic dialogue.
