Local journalism is in a fight for survival, and our democracy is at risk.
About us
Since the summer of 2018, the Colorado Media Project has engaged a broad-based coalition of civic leaders, students, academics, philanthropists, journalists, business leaders, librarians, technologists, and other local residents to better understand the market forces behind the decline in local news; to survey Coloradans on their news and information interests, needs, and habits; to understand new opportunities and threats introduced by technology and social platforms; and to prototype and test new ways to engage a broader range of residents in the future of local news and civic information. Our mission is to better meet the information needs of all Coloradans, by acting as a catalyst and advocate for innovations that make Colorado's local news ecosystem more sustainable, collaborative, and accountable to the public it serves. We develop partnerships and programs designed to increase newsroom capacity, support collaboration, and engage the community in journalism that strengthens our democracy. CMP is a grant-funded organization operating under the fiscal sponsorship of the Rose Community Foundation. Read about our supporters here.

“By intentionally creating spaces where diverse groups of local people can engage with one another as people — not as algorithm-curated voting blocs — genuine conversations about common challenges can spark empathy, understanding and solutions.”
Martin Carcasson and I have an op-ed in The Colorado Sun today, spotlighting the important role that local newsrooms — in partnership with libraries, schools, community and civic groups — can play in actively reclaiming the public square from political pundits and conflict entrepreneurs. Check it out and let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/gTvEKdf2
