American Journalism Project
The American Journalism Project (AJP) is a venture philanthropy organization focused on revitalizing local journalism as a vital civic institution. Founded in 2019 by Elizabeth Green and John Thornton, AJP addresses the challenges facing local news by investing in nonprofit models that prioritize public service. Since its inception, AJP has awarded $55.3 million in grants to 44 partner organizations across 33 states, supported by major funders like the Knight Foundation and Arnold Ventures. AJP's activities include grantmaking to nonprofit newsrooms, capacity building for new news startups, and leadership coaching for newsroom leaders. The organization emphasizes creating sustainable, community-centered news ecosystems, particularly in areas with limited local coverage. AJP's mission is to treat local news as a public good essential for democracy, focusing on equity and civic participation. Under the leadership of CEO Sarabeth Berman, AJP advocates for local news as a crucial part of civic infrastructure, aiming to strengthen the connections between news organizations and the communities they serve.
