The Civic Journalism Initiative
The Civic Journalism Initiative is a movement within journalism that aims to make news reporting more engaged with community issues while fostering informed public participation. It encourages journalists to actively involve citizens in framing stories, discussing local concerns, and finding solutions. The goal is to enhance community decision-making and accountability by producing more meaningful, participatory coverage that reflects diverse perspectives. This approach balances reporting facts with empowering the community to understand and influence the issues that affect their lives.
