Advancing equitable community-based journalism through research, resources, and collaboration

The Center for Community Media (CCM) at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY supports news organizations that serve communities whose voices and perspectives are often marginalized in mainstream media. As a field-builder, CCM focuses on strengthening the community and ethnic media sector as a whole by generating shared knowledge, elevating effective practice, and unlocking transformative opportunities. Our work ensures that community media across the U.S. is more recognized, resourced, and resilient—so that the communities our partners serve have the trusted information and analysis needed to thrive.
