Fast Company named Press Forward one of the most innovative companies of 2025 in the nonprofit category. Press Forward Director Dale Anglin noted, it helps “highlight the vital role of reliable local news in strengthening communities across the U.S.” Local news leaders work in often difficult circumstances to bring people the news and information they need, and help ground communities in what matters to their lives. In announcing the honor, Fast Company notes Press Forward is filling a gap and has already helped increase news access.
