Announcements and writings about City Bureau’s civic journalism model.
A new study compares Grand Rapids Documenters’ notes with official city meeting minutes, showing how our approach to note taking is actively making local government more accessible, transparent, and community-focused.
More than 4,500 Documenters have earned a collective $1 million for their civic participation, and we’re just getting started.
We’re kicking off our 9th year of City Bureau’s Documenters Network by welcoming two new newsrooms in two new states into our growing community of participatory civic media.
