Description
The Tiny News Collective empowers individuals to construct sustainable news organizations that cater to their communities by providing them with the necessary resources, tools, and knowledge. The Collective prioritizes amplifying voices that were traditionally excluded from media and ownership. The first cohort of members have begun publishing through their websites or newsletters while those in the second cohort are at various stages of pre-launch and publishing. In addition, monthly workshops have been incorporated, and they are currently experimenting with twice-monthly events.

Program areas at The Tiny News Collective

Tiny News Collectives primary programs in 2023 focused on continued fiscal sponsorship and tech support to new and existing members and clients, monthly collective calls and workshops for members, as well as bimonthly blocks of open office hours. We worked closely with new and existing geographic philanthropic partners to identify pre-launch applicants for membership, and finalized a new data research and metrics partnership. Additionally, TNC once again served as the program sponsor for the annual Sigma Awards, a competition to celebrate the best data journalism from around the world.
