Grants

2024 (3 years 1 month)
$3,000,000

A project of Internews, the Listening Post Collective (LPC) brings Internews’ time-tested international methodologies to the United States, partnering with people and organizations to develop local news and information solutions that help communities thrive. LPC invests in hyper-local U.S. media initiatives using the Civic Media Playbook — a free, self-paced information assessment tool available in English and Spanish. The Playbook is an online learning hub designed to empower local media entrepreneurs to launch community-driven projects and sustain resilient initiatives over time, with a focus on Black, Indigenous, communities of color, and immigrant populations who often have limited access to high-quality, relevant information and have historically been excluded from civic processes.
