Clarity in Uncertain Times
Local News Catalyst is for local public and community media leaders looking for clear, no-cost guidance in a time of uncertainty. With federal funding cuts and other pressures reshaping the landscape, Local News Catalyst’s free resources provide clear steps and insights to help stations stabilize operations, continue serving their communities, and create a strong platform for future growth.
Looking Ahead
While Local News Catalyst’s immediate focus is on helping stations stabilize in the face of federal funding cuts, our long-term mission is to help local public media organizations, particularly in under-resourced communities, expand their impact as vital sources of news and information. Over time, as the financial outlook steadies, Local News Catalyst will look beyond immediate needs to help stations expand their local service and be part of the solution to the growing local news crisis.
