The Local News Initiative of Southern Arizona aims to strengthen local journalism in the Southern Arizona community and fill critical gaps in local news and information.
Since 2024, The Local News Initiative of Southern Arizona has granted over $225,000 to local news organizations in Southern Arizona through its grant program.
Local News Initiative grants are designed to help strengthen our community by supporting robust local journalism and news and information providers in Southern Arizona. With more journalists producing original reporting and community news and information, the people in Tucson, Pima County, and across Southern Arizona can become better informed and rely on local journalism to hold the government and other institutions to account.
This Local News Initiative of Southern Arizona 2025 Grants Information Session was recorded on Wednesday, February 19th, at 11:00 AM.
