A community journalism cooperative is a non-profit, resident-owned news organization where local citizens, students, and organizers report on neighborhood issues that mainstream commercial media overlooks.
Collectives run weekly public workshops training neighbors in public records requests (FOIA), council meeting observation, interview ethics, and community podcasting.
Residents can contribute modest monthly micro-pledges (typically $5 to $50/mo), attend open pitch meetings, or volunteer to distribute printed tabloids to local libraries and cafes.
