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.

Focus
Sahan Journal is a Minnesota based non-profit news outlet dedicated to reporting for and about immigrant and refugee communities. They report stories that are traditionally overlooked by mainstream media in an effort to foster important two-way conversations.
The Sahan Journal is working with the Listening Post Collective to develop institutional strategies that would enable them to foster trust and representational coverage in Minnesota’s Latinx community. Through this partnership, the Listening Post Collective and Sahan Journal develop deeper relationships and sources within neighborhoods around the Twin Cities and the state. The overall goal is to establish a policy of not just covering immigrant and refugee communities, but listening to them on a regular basis, and tailoring access to Sahan Journal reporting to consider language, technology, literacy and other potential barriers to receiving information.
