The Local Journalism Initiative (LJI) supports the creation of original civic journalism that covers the diverse needs of underserved communities across Canada.
To protect the independence of the press, 3 not-for-profit organizations deliver the Initiative, jointly representing the different segments of the news industry. A single not-for-profit organization delivers the Changing Narratives Fund stream.
These organizations provide funding to Canadian media organizations to address the need for local civic journalism in underserved communities.
