Program accomplishments
- Uplift Local trains and pays people to provide information in their own communities through the nationally recognized Documenters program. Last year we trained 70 Documenters in the Columbia River Gorge, who in turn covered more than 130 public meetings, providing crucial information. Through Documenters, we identify community members with interest in journalism and hire and train the most promising. In 2025, we hired 3 community members from the Gorge as journalists and editors. The Gorge news team now produces a newsletter in English, Spanish newsletter via WhatsApp and a Spanish language radio program via Radio Tierra. In addition to Documenters notes, the newsletters offer calendar listings, regional news, and original stories each week, reported by the team and by Documenters who are learning new reporting skills.Expenses $232,629
