Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism

The Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism supports the development and production of independent news. BINJ achieves its mission by: providing organizational support to community publications; running reporting collaborations and civic engagement initiatives; training promising journalists; and producing bold independent journalism. Best known for its investigative reporting, BINJ launched the Somerville News Garden project in 2019 to experiment with creating a replicable volunteer-driven model that municipalities can use to reverse their slide toward becoming news deserts.
