Our Mission
Our eleven local newsrooms reach millions of readers every month through newsletters, social platforms, and community reporting. Each newsroom is led by local journalists who tell the stories that matter most — from schools and housing to jobs and healthcare.
COURIER’s local newsrooms provide Americans with news centered on the people and policies affecting their lives. Our reporting is primarily produced for the social media platforms and online channels our audiences spend their time on, with an emphasis on video, graphics, and skimmable newsletters to inform and engage our audiences in the ways they consume information today.
We believe a healthy democracy depends on informed communities.
We believe facts should be free and accessible to everyone.
We believe local voices deserve a national microphone.
