Local Journalism Initiative
Local Journalism matters.
CJSF, with the help of the Community Radio Fund of Canada's Local Journalism Initiative, is producing news and talk content focused on the communities of Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, and North Vancouver; as well as Surrey, Delta, and Richmond.
This content is featured throughout CJSF's programming on programs like Speak Up! and IntraVenus, uploaded to Frequency News to be shared with Campus-Community Radio stations across the country, and featured here at CJSF.ca
The Local Journalism Initiative (LJI) supports the creation of original civic journalism that covers the diverse needs of underserved communities across Canada.
Funding is available to eligible Canadian media organizations to hire journalists or pay freelance journalists to produce civic journalism for underserved communities.
The content produced will be made available to media organizations through a Creative Commons license so that Canadians can be better informed.
