The Los Angeles Local News Initiative aims to enhance coverage in underserved communities, focusing on growing existing non-profits by fostering local journalism and addressing unmet news needs.
In the launch phase, the initiative will concentrate on strengthening a bilingual outlet serving Boyle Heights and will employ community feedback on news requirements to shape its agenda.
The initiative follows a pattern established by the American Journalism Project, emphasizing community surveys and collaboration among local non-profits, preparing the groundwork for future initiatives.
Board members include notable figures like Monica Lozano and Kevin Merida, who will guide hiring for leadership roles as the project evolves into new community-focused news endeavors.
