Backed by the Arizona Media Association and overseen by an independent board of local journalism supporters, we fund programs that ensure local news is accessible in every Arizona community. Over just the last decade, Arizona has lost hundreds of local journalists and dozens of local media sources because of fast-changing technology and weakened business models. That trend is accelerating and many Arizona small towns are now designated as new deserts, meaning they no longer have any local news source. This is a threat to democracy just as much as a threat to information. We are a coalition supported by nearly every local media brand operating in the state. Arizona Local News Foundation is here to fix the problem and need more philanthropic support to join us. Relaunched in the summer of 2023, the Foundation is currently in startup fundraising mode. The Foundation awarded its first grants in January by funding local news internships for newsrooms across the state. 101 101 Chris Kline Treasurer 10.00 0 Stacy Sullivan Chairman 1.00 0 Colleen Brady Chairman 1.00 0 Julie Shaw Secretary/Treas 1.00 0 Teri Hayt Board Member 1.00 0 John Misner Board Member 1.00 0 Debbie Bush Board Member 1.00 0 Michael Mallace Board Member 1.00 0 Brian Kramer Board Member 1.00 0 Andrew Deschapelles Board Member 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Arizona Media Association 555 N Central Ave Ste 302 Phoenix AZ 85004 6022524833 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 23441 23441 0 0 23441 23441 0 23441 0 0 0 23441 26660 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 26660 26660 26660 26660 26660
