Inspired by @DanielLubetzky & @kmele @StartsWithUs on the role of compassion, courage & curiosity in healing polarization and generating solutions that move communities forward. We at @the_ntln share these values & believe community media has an important role to play! #SXSW23

"The leveraged buyout, better known for its use by Wall Street raiders, in this case allows local foundations and institutional donors to guarantee loans to buy independent community papers." Leveraged buyouts for good! nytimes.com/2021/07/11/busin…

That's where we come in. We're bringing together capital, philanthropy, and local communities to ensure community news stays in community control. And we're working with local partners to reimagine a future for community news that is sustainable, equitable, and a public service.
