A new journalism consortium covering rural issues will kick off with two collaborations investigating economic issues in Indigenous communities and access to water in the West.
The Rural News Network from the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN) is launching in 2022 to surface the most pressing issues confronting America’s rural communities, with a focus on solutions. The multi-year collaboration is being led by INN members Investigate Midwest and The Daily Yonder, with guidance and project management from staff at INN. The Rural News Network will leverage the expertise of 60 independent INN-member newsrooms already serving rural communities across 30 states.
