Facts are stubborn things - John Adams

aka Key Biscayne Independent   |   Miami, FL   |  https://kbindependent.org

Mission

We are a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on developing hyper-local, non-partisan news coverage across Miami-Dade county. We believe that every village and town should have access to professional news coverage about locally important issues. Our project will develop strong community journalism and put it on solid footing, allowing us to develop sustainable news gathering. Our long term vision is to expand strong nonprofit hyperlocal news to all communities in Miami-Dade County, especially underserved ones. Our first project is in Key Biscayne, where one of our distinctive coverage areas is the environment, because our community is a threatened barrier island at the intersection of state, county, and federal parks enjoyed by millions.

Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Democracy depends on good journalism, but journalism is in crisis. This is especially true at the local level. Thousands of news industry jobs have disappeared, meaning many critical community issues are simply not covered at all. The news vacuum -- or news desert -- creates an environment where misinformation or even disinformation spreads on various social media platforms. Our vision aims at building sustainable hyperlocal news that serves the community. Our plan is to expand across Miami-Dade County, establishing sister news outlets, especially in historically underserved areas.
