To strengthen local journalism and encourage greater connection between reporters and Charlotte residents, Solutions Journalism Network launched the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative (CJC) in 2019. The CJC is a partnership of seven major media companies and other local institutions focusing on issues of major importance to the Charlotte region.
Sponsorship of the 2023 Local News Impact Summit supports the work of the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative, creating opportunities for rigorous and collaborative solutions journalism in Charlotte and community programming that allows community leaders, housing advocates and residents a space to navigate and discuss complex issues.

In 2021, we announced a $1.5 million multi-year funding plan to support the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative through 2026. This provides the CJC significant runway to produce impact and showcases your commitment to the local news ecosystem.

Finding solutions, informing communities, together.
Since its launch, the collaboration has proven to be a successful model of investigating and reporting news with a primary focus on solutions to community problems. It has had a profound impact on the way that news happens in Charlotte and the way that our community responds to issues. Our work is about seeking solutions for the well-being of Charlotte’s residents, making access to trusted information a reality for all in our community, and strengthening those vital connections that can make positive change and drive informed development of the city’s future. As we continue to create opportunities for connection among city leaders, residents and local news organizations, we believe that the key to a vibrant and thriving city is a strong local news community.
