We cannot make our communities better if we do not understand them, and as journalists we have dedicated our lives to uncovering challenges, understanding issues and uplifting each other’s voices.

We believe in truth and accuracy above all.

We are deeply affected by tragedy.

We are journalists and we do what we do because you have a need to know and understand the world around you.
Journalism is foundational to democracy. Journalists speak truth to power and ensure all voices are heard. But mistrust in news is increasing and independent local news – and local journalists- are more threatened than ever.

Yet, across the country, hundreds of local journalists are still striving every day to uphold the RTDNA Code of Ethics and serve their communities – and not only by keeping them informed.

We want to share with the world who we are and why we go to work every day to report the news.

Where we’re from
We were born and raised everywhere from New Jersey to Haiti to Alabama. We started our hometowns’ first papers and grew up in towns of just 100 people. We’re from the South and from Northern Michigan.

Some of us move a lot, but we love to be involved in the community, wherever that may be. Many of us love to travel, aiming for every state and destinations from Australia to Fiji. One journalist’s project took her on a 10,000 mile road trip visiting newsrooms across America.

How we serve
Local journalists serve their communities every day by uncovering challenges and helping people understand issues, because we cannot make our communities copy right: https://rtdna.org/thisisjournalism
