The Pew Center for Civic Journalism

The Pew Center for Civic Journalism was an initiative established by the Pew Charitable Trusts to support and promote the role of journalism in enhancing public participation and informing citizens about important civic issues. It aimed to encourage news organizations to engage with communities, focus on public interests, and produce reporting that fosters informed dialogue. The center provided resources, funding, and research to help journalists better connect with citizens and address the challenges facing local journalism. Ultimately, it sought to strengthen democracy by improving how news is reported and consumed in society.
