Our mission is to equip visionary news entrepreneurs in underserved communities to transform journalism from the ground up, making it more equitable, accessible and connected.
Through coaching, tools and strategic support, Tiny News Collective nurtures a network of indie media founders to launch and grow community-rooted news organizations that endure.
We envision a world where everyone can participate in creating relevant, accurate and culturally conscious local news and information.
A world where everyone can participate is one where everyone can more fully engage in civic life, make more informed decisions, and better understand the world around them. Meet the team of experts, friends, alumni, advisers, funders and partners who share our vision →
Our Guiding Principles
Creating journalism for and with your community
Whether you're a lifetime journalist, a committed organizer or an individual looking to serve your community, we believe that the next generation of news looks like you. People who care about their community should have a voice in informing them.
Reflecting and sharing your community's stories and experiences
It is our goal to amplify the voices of individuals and news organizations that serve and represent unserved or underserved communities.
Reclaiming your community's narrative
We provide back office and administrative support, allowing you to be fully present in your role as a founder. Our founders know their communities best and, while working with us, always have the final say in what's right for their newsroom.
