It's no secret that local journalism is hurting right now. As media conglomerates buy state and local outlets, many important stories are left untold. Young Voices is aiming to change that with the launch of a new fellowship opportunity for our writers.
Supported by the State Policy Network (SPN), Young Voices' newly launched State Beat Fellowship is empowering our writers to report on pressing issues of federalism and state policy. Over the coming months, nine of our State Beat fellows will attend regular virtual state policy briefings from SPN-affiliated think tanks and produce monthly media hits on issues affecting their communities, to be placed in top state outlets.
We're already seeing results:
Together, Young Voices will continue to shape the future of journalism and platform pro-freedom voices in America's local communities.
Sincerely,
Casey Given
President & Executive Director
