Central Valley Journalism Collaborative

The Central Valley Journalism Collaborative (CVJC) was launched in 2021 by the James B. McClatchy Foundation (JBMF) with the aim of restoring a vibrant, local free press, starting with the Central Valley. This non-profit model is focused on sustainable journalism, facilitated through philanthropic support and community ownership. Through a revenue-sharing model, CVJC collaborates with local newsrooms to fund journalists, thereby safeguarding philanthropic investments and preserving jobs in journalism. The organization's approach involves hiring local journalists who contribute to local newsrooms, thus representing the diverse communities of the Central Valley. This innovative ecosystem is envisioned to be a potential solution for preserving, reviving, and nurturing independent local news on a broader scale. Currently, there is no available information regarding specific industries or the latest investment received by CVJC. The headquarters of the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative is situated in the United States.
