Who We Represent

The organizations in this coalition represent more than 3,000 locally-owned and nonprofit, community-based newsrooms who every day deliver coverage to millions of Americans in communities across the United States.

Coalition Members

The Coalition acts as a forum for groups interested in the health of local news to discuss and advocate for public policy. Here is the Steering Committee. Each group decides for itself, on a case by case basis, whether to endorse a particular policy proposal. Coalition members that endorsed our grand plan include:
