Spreading the knowledge
One of our focuses this year was education. This year we were able to give seven workshops to people from middle schoolers to entrepreneurs about solutions journalism, how to create content with purpose and how to use storytelling to advocate for your community.Â
2023 GoalsÂ
Investing in community journalistsÂ
The Solutions Journalism Network, an organization that promotes solutions journalism, awarded us a $20,000 grant to train community journalists throughout Puerto Rico. While reporting on the ground, we have met groups documenting their communities. In 2023, we’re focusing on amplifying their efforts through trainings and resources.
