What is the Collaborative Journalism Resource Hub?
The mission of the Collaborative Journalism Resource Hub is to advance the field of collaboration in journalism across the U.S.
The Collaborative Journalism Resource Hub, housed at the Center for Cooperative Media, was established in 2025. Our goal is to create sustainable models for local news collaboratives that directly benefit the communities they serve. We will focus on catalyzing sustainable models that attract local support and investment. We will measure the success of collaboratives by their financial sustainability and their impact on the community.
We will provide financial and coaching assistance to new and existing collaborations. The Hub will also gather and organize existing research on collaboratives to identify practices that show evidence of success. In addition to managing our own projects, we will enter into partnerships to support and enhance initiatives launched by other institutions and organizations.
The Hub is funded by the Knight Foundation.
