City News Service

The City News Service is a pioneering initiative that connects local newspapers with the next generation of journalists, offering a dynamic solution to enhance community coverage while supporting the development of aspiring reporters. As local news outlets grapple with shrinking resources and limited staff, our service provides a valuable resource: a dedicated team of student reporters eager to contribute to their communities.

Through this partnership, local newspapers gain access to comprehensive coverage of city events, town hall meetings, and other significant local news. These articles are made available to local publications for use, with the requirement that they must be appropriately credited to the student reporter and include attribution to the City News Service. In turn, student reporters benefit from mentorship, editorial oversight, and the opportunity to have their work published both in the student newspaper and in respected local publications.

This collaboration not only enriches local journalism but also fosters community engagement, ensuring that local events and issues are reported with accuracy, enthusiasm, and a fresh perspective. The City News Service bridges the gap between academia and professional journalism, creating a pathway for students to make a meaningful impact while building a vibrant future for local news.
