Local News
Our Goal
Local News, in collaboration with Press Forward, dramatically strengthens and expands local news in America’s most underserved communities.
Opportunity
The disappearance of local news is inextricably linked to declining civic health across the United States. Communities with the fewest resources face the greatest gaps—and a local news renaissance is within reach if we act to accelerate the transformation already underway.
Our Vision
MacArthur leads a Big Bet on Local News in collaboration with Press Forward, deploying grantmaking and philanthropic tools to dramatically strengthen and expand local news in America’s most underserved communities.
