    CCN In the News

    The Center for Community News is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.

    It is supported by a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the UVM College of Arts & Sciences, and individual donors.

    Engaging colleges and students in supporting local news

    Local news is more than just a trusted source of critical information; it’s an essential ingredient in a healthy democracy. Communities with dedicated local news organizations report higher levels of civic engagement, social cohesion, and effective problem-solving.

    We connect student journalists at every stage of life with local news organizations to help build a world in which every community has access to reliable information by and for the people who live there.
