Yes. Yes! It's wonderful to see Substack recognise the same potential I saw in its platform a year ago next week: not just to give independence to big-name, big-audience writers, but to provide a pre-fabricated platform where regionally based journalists who've endured years of budget cuts under chain ownership can strike out on their own and give their communities better local news coverage than what they've been getting. Yes! Love this.
This is fantastic. I started The Wausonian to deliver a roundup of local news to readers' inbox once per week, with periodic deep dive, records/data-driven features, and people really love it. So I was very happy to see this. Even if I'm not selected, I am just so glad this is happening!
People’s confidence in the media has declined. People currently trust companies more than governments, media, or NGO's, ( 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer). This is the right time to empower honest journalism that is balanced focusing on what is going well.

This sounds like a wonderful initiative to push back a little against the decimation of the local newspapers.
I see the 12 that were selected in 2021.
Were there any funded in 2022 or 2023?

We missed out in South Africa. We were unaware that we could also apply
Great plan, I believe that more people will settle here to write.
