  • Investigative Journalism Projects

    Investigative and Data-Driven Journalism Projects Objective: To produce high-impact investigative stories on urgent issues affecting New Hampshire communities, particularly those underreported by individual outlets. Activities: GSNC contracts a team of investigative freelancers and data reporters who collaborate with local editors to produce in-depth, original stories. Topics covered include housing insecurity, public health disparities, digital equity, education funding, and zoning policies. In 2023-2024, GSNC produced more than 300 deeply reported stories and projects for its partner local news outlets. GSNC also partners with academic institutions, such as Boston University and the University of New Hampshire, to deepen reporting with expert research support.

  • Local Journalism Collaboration

    Objective: To expand the reach, efficiency, and diversity of local journalism in New Hampshire by facilitating cross-outlet collaboration and content sharing. Activities: GSNC operates a content-sharing platform that enables more than 20 partner organizations to freely republish trusted, original stories, resulting in over 3,000 cross-published stories annually - the equivalent of adding six full-time reporters to the NH journalism ecosystem. In addition to the exchange, GSNC coordinates multi-newsroom coverage of statewide issues such as education, housing, healthcare, and elections. This coordination reduces duplication, aligns editorial calendars, and ensures broader geographic and demographic representation in reporting.
