Journalism That Matters<\/a><\/strong>\"JTM-logo-square\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Journalism That Matters is a nonprofit that convenes conversations to foster collaboration, innovation, and action so that a diverse news and information ecosystem supports communities to thrive. We believe journalism matters most when it is of, by, and for the people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Agora Journalism Center<\/a>\u00a0\"AgoraHeader\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Agora Journalism Center seeks to articulate a vision and practice of journalism that are inextricably linked to the health of our democracy. Journalism, as a public mission, is inseparable from community: journalism builds on and cultivates healthy, flourishing communities; healthy, flourishing communities depend on the cooperative creation, transparent access and public distribution of knowledge in the interest of democracy. The creation and distribution of knowledge in the public interest, as judged by the public, is at the heart of vital civic life.<\/p>\n
