The Funded Project:
Strengthen Detroit's local news landscape by asking residents to identify and define the crucial issues they are most affected by, then distribute published content to a network of local media and community organizations.
Grant Amount:
$25,000
In Their Own Words:
BridgeDetroit is a new, multi-platform, networked news model that will redefine local journalism. Its content will come from a community engagement process that asks Detroiters to identify the issues they see as crucial.
In direct response to dramatic deterioration on the local news landscape, BridgeDetroit will build a unique community priorities model that continuously asks Detroiters what issues matter in their lives, and that model will shape the journalism and engagement activities BridgeDetroit will produce. BridgeDetroit's content will be produced by Detroiters, for Detroiters, and it will build a community in which readers, listeners are not simple consumers, but also the shapers of priorities and content.
BridgeDetroit will also engage a new network of the city’s existing media and community organizations to distribute open source content in partnership with Bridge Detroit. Partners include WDET, Detroit's Public Radio Station; Chalkbeat Detroit, a local version of the national nonprofit education news organization; Bridge Magazine, a publication of the Center for Michigan; Outlier Media; and Detroit Public Television. Commercial partners include the Detroit Free Press, WDIV Television and Deadline Detroit, a for-profit local news site.
