Local News Catalyst Helps You
Helping to Tell Your Story
Local public media has a powerful story—providing trusted news to millions, stepping in where newspapers have vanished, and helping communities stay informed, engaged, and connected. Yet despite its impact, it faces growing challenges, especially in under-resourced communities and amid threats to federal funding. We help elevate the importance and impact of local public media to attract the support you need from funders and other stakeholders, ensuring strong, sustainable local news for every community.
