Journalism is essential to democracy.

Without it, our power to seek the truth and engage with it as a community is at risk. We believe there is hope for a revival of local journalism and that it starts at the grassroots.

At a time when opportunities to learn the principles and skills of reporting are disappearing, we are investing in aspiring journalists.

We are rebuilding the public’s understanding of the relationship between good newspapers and civic life.

And we are researching ways to make local journalism sustainable, starting right here on Outer Cape Cod in partnership with the Provincetown Independent.
