The Community Radio Fund of Canada has selected 21 stations across Canada that will receive funding for the Local Journalism Initiative! The stations selected encompass a wide range of diverse communities and voices operating in both English and French.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Funded by Canadian Heritage, the Local Journalism Initiative supports civic journalism and works to empower voices of underserved communities. This funding increases journalistic capacity, accessibility to local news, and the consumption of local news within these communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Local Journalism Initiative supports salaries of the journalists who allow stations to facilitate deeper connections with their communities. In order to ensure journalistic independence, the CRFC administers the program on behalf of the government.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In remote areas (where coverage of local issues is largely ignored by corporate media) gossip, hearsay, and misinformation spread unchecked, fostering mistrust and community divisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

News produced and broadcasted through local community radio stations, by reporters funded through the Local Journalism Initiative, is the most reliable and accessible channel for ethical and responsible civic journalism for residents living in these remote communities.”\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0Bryan McKinnon, station manager, CKTZ Cortes Island, BC<\/span><\/p>\n

The content created through this initiative will be accessible to all Canadians and media outlets free of charge through the program’s national distribution centre. To see the quality content created in previous years check out <\/span>canada-info.ca<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
