Everyone deserves access to good information.
About Us
Access to good information is more critical than ever. More than 3,500 local news outlets have closed in the last 20 years, and legacy media is under attack. The rise of misinformation and the loss of community news reduces civic engagement and decreases government accountability.
News Creators Corps is a movement to ensure everyone has access to accurate and trustworthy information. We invest in content creators and community messengers so they can better share facts, debunk misinformation, and empower their audiences with information.
Our Programs
News Creator Corps runs a variety of programs that invest in community messengers and media literacy.
Our flagship program, the Trusted Creators Fellowship, is a training fellowship for creators who have established themselves as trusted messengers. They provide information to their communities on everything from local news and politics to sports and parenting. The 8-week program combines deep dives and discussions on content strategy, productivity tools, and audience engagement with skill building in fact checking, sourcing, public records, and interviewing, led by experts. By developing talent and community among creators, we have created new information pipelines to safeguard democracy via a national network of community messengers trained to distill timely news and information in engaging and relevant ways.
We are launching additional programs this year. Sign up for our mailing list to get notified of what’s coming next.
