Civic Journalism

Civic journalism is a way of reporting in which journalists actively engage with communities to cover issues that matter to residents. Unlike traditional news that only reports facts, civic journalism encourages dialogue, investigation, and collaboration to help citizens better understand their community’s challenges and solutions. Its goal is to promote informed participation and empower the public to be more involved in civic affairs, fostering a more engaged and proactive citizenry. This approach emphasizes transparency, relevance, and community-centered storytelling to strengthen democratic participation.
