The Center for Community News at UVM connects student journalists with newsrooms around the country that utilize their skills to narrow the local news gap.

The decline of local news outlets across the country has created gaps in coverage. The Center for Community News at UVM connects college journalists with newsrooms that utilize the students' skills to cover stories that might otherwise be missed.

Vermont Public is a partner with the Community News Service, which is run by UVM's Reporting & Documentary Storytelling program.
