The Local Journalism Project
The Independent is not just a local newspaper. We are a group of practical idealists, working to rebuild local journalism. This is something we believe is essential to democracy. To succeed, we need to do more than produce a good newspaper. That’s why we started the Local Journalism Project, a nonprofit organization with an educational mission.
