The Southwest Michigan Journalism Collaborative is a group of 12 media, education, and community partners working to strengthen local journalism.
We aim to support a more accurate, equitable, and diverse news ecosystem in Southwest Michigan. By promoting inclusion and building trust between journalists and communities, we hope to create more representative coverage.
Southwest Michigan Journalism Collaborative’s mission is to support and enhance the news and information ecosystem in Southwest Michigan, to provide accurate and equitable coverage, and to promote diversity of voices among journalists and sources alike.
The following guiding principles and values were established by collaborative members to guide their ways of being as well as collaborative efforts:
Southwest Michigan Journalism Collaborative’s current work is made possible through grants from the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, ENNA Foundation, Harold and Grace Upjohn Foundation, Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda Foundation, Suzanne Delano Upjohn Parish Foundation, and Kalamazoo Community Foundation.
The journalism collaborative is a nonpartisan news organization committed to transparency and editorial independence. We do not support or advocate for any particular idea, model, organization, or agenda. We rely on financial support from the public, charitable foundations, and philanthropists. Below are policies that guide our collaborative’s operations.
