The Listening Post Collective is a vibrant and collaborative network of partners across the US. The Listening Post team focuses on two things.
Supporting our members
We help establish projects and mentor local media working in communities that have news and information gaps. We provide funding, help conduct local research, and offer project support and coaching to local actors who seek to expand their community’s voice in media and make sure residents are better informed.
Sharing and learning
Through our playbook, newsletters and our toolkit, we share our strategies with a community of reporting outlets, journalism schools, and engaged journalism projects around the US. We also seek to learn from that same cohort, and collaboratively explore sustainability, reach, representation, and impact of local journalism.

Justin Auciello launched Jersey Shore Hurricane News on Facebook in 2011 just before Hurricane Irene hit New Jersey. In the years since, it has grown into a vibrant community of nearly 250,000 people known as JSHN “contributors”—across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and now, their Listening Post project. The JSHN team is using Listening Post strategies to dive deeper into the community and connect with their large audience offline as well, get to know them, and understand better how important issues are impacting lives in the region. Auciello says his creation is a two-way news outlet for the people, by the people.
