Pine Tree Watch

The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization located in Augusta, Maine. It was founded in 2009 by veteran journalists John Christie and Naomi Schallit to help offset some of the deeper journalism that was quickly evaporating as Maine newspapers slashed staffs. The news organization produces investigative and enterprise journalism on politics, healthcare, the environment and education, and publishes Pine Tree Watch.

The Haitian Times

The Haitian Times was founded in 1999 as a weekly English-language newspaper based in Brooklyn, NY. Since 2012, it has morphed into an online-only publication broadening its audience to include Haitians from all over the world. Our readers are thought leaders and decision makers in their families and communities. The news outlet is widely regarded as the most authoritative voice for Haitian Diaspora.  

Democrat & Chronicle

The Democrat and Chronicle is an online and print local news organization primarily serving the Rochester, New York Metro area of nearly 1 million people. We serve as the hub of the USA Today Network's Northeast Crescent Region, which stretches from Vermont to Virginia. We regularly collaborate and share best practices with other local news sites within the Network, as well as with USA Today itself. The Democrat and Chronicle and its predecessor newspapers, first launched in 1833, uphold a proud tradition of community journalism in a city where both the nation's abolitionist and suffragist movements took center stage in the 19th century.

Delaware Public Media

Delaware Public Media is the first and only noncommercial public media news service established and headquartered in Delaware, and the only National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate licensed in the state. A nonprofit organization founded in 2009, we launched an online news service in 2010, subsequently obtained a radio station license, and began broadcasting on WDDE 91.1 FM in 2012.

DCist

DCist is a digital news outlet that covers D.C. rather than federal Washington. The site is the primary source of news for many Washingtonians on matters as diverse as local politics, transportation, the arts, and social justice issues. We take pride in covering the city, not the stereotypes. The site was created in the early aughts to fill in gaps left by traditional news outlets that were slow to adapt their coverage for the internet. DCist was shut down in late 2017 but revived a few months later by WAMU. Within WAMU, DCist operates as an independent editorial team. WAMU is one of the top NPR-affiliates in the country, a station with ambitious national initiatives and an abiding commitment to covering the D.C. region through audio and digital reporting, podcasting, and a daily local talk show.

Connecticut Public

Our organization was established in 1962 as the Connecticut Educational Television Station, broadcast on station WEDH from the basement of Trinity College Library in Hartford. CPTV was created in 1974 when WEDH formed a network with three other television stations in the state. CT Public Radio signed on in June 1978, and that year joined CPTV to form Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc. For many years, the station aired primarily classical music in between Morning Edition and All Things Considered. It changed to an all-news and information format in 2006. Now, we produce 10-12 daily radio newscasts, four call-in talk shows, and one weekly news magazine show and podcast. In addition to statewide distribution through CT Public platforms, our reporting is shared regionally through the New England News Collaborative (a network of eight public media newsrooms covering the six New England states) and nationally through NPR.

Concord Monitor

Started in 1864, the locally owned Concord Monitor covers the capital city of Concord, the New Hampshire State House and dozens of surrounding communities in the central part of the state. We cover everything from annual town meetings in our smallest communities to the largest issues facing the state, including the opioid epidemic and the ongoing mental health care crisis. We play an increasingly central role in civic debate, and host many public meetings focused on issues. And once a year, we host a health-based conference that pulls together the state’s leading experts on the biggest issues facing our readers and our state.

Capital Gazette

The Capital’s mission is to be the indispensable source of news, sports and opinion for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County—providing community news, holding leaders accountable and being a forum of public discussion.To that end, content is constantly updated at capitalgazette.com. In addition, this newsroom produces The Capital daily newspaper, twice-weekly Maryland Gazette and two other weeklies. The newsroom has a staff of 17 in news, sports and photo. The Capital Gazette was the victim of a mass shooting on June 28, 2018, when a gunman shot his way into the news organization's office and killed five staff members.

The Berkshire Eagle

Since our return to local ownership in 2016, The Berkshire Eagle's mission is to become the finest community newspaper in America. Through relentlessly local reporting on our 32 cities and towns in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, our staff punches above our weight class because we pursue stories that affect the Berkshires beyond the Berkshires. Our coverage area is both rural and urban, cultured and troubled, rich and poor.

The Bay State Banner

The Bay State Banner is New England’s longest-running black-owned newspaper. Founded in 1965 to serve the city’s African-American population, the Banner has provided in-depth coverage of the social movements, political developments, events and ideas in the Greater Boston area’s African-American, Latino and Asian communities. Our newspaper focuses on areas including criminal justice policy, education, politics, real estate development and the arts through the lens of communities of color.
