Granite State News Collaborative

The Granite State News Collaborative is a collective of nearly 20 local media, education and community partners working together to produce and share news stories on the issues that most impact New Hampshire. The idea is that together we can provide more information to more communities than we could individually. The Collaborative was founded in 2018 by a small group of journalists who assessed the state of the journalism ecosystem and thought they could do better if they worked together. The Collaborative has tackled tough topics including the opioid and mental health crises, winning several NH Press Association and New England Newspaper & Press Association Awards for its work.
