The New Bedford Light is a free, nonprofit, nonpartisan digital news outlet dedicated to community-based coverage of important local issues — health and safety, education, environment, economy, arts and culture, government and politics, and social justice.We seek to inform and nourish the civic culture of New Bedford and surrounding towns by providing in-depth, fact-based journalism and a broad platform for diverse community voices. Through our innovative Journalism Incubator Project we promote media literacy and educate the public about the vital role of a free press in bolstering our democracy.We are dedicated to listening and responding to the needs of all members of our community, particularly those marginalized by traditional media outlets. We believe that equity and inclusion are fundamental to journalism that provides context, insight and potential solutions. We are fiercely independent; we pursue truth without fear or favor.Our professional journalism is free to the public, but it is not free to produce. We are developing a variety of revenue streams – individual contributions, foundation grants, sponsorships, underwriting and partnerships with other local media outlets. We are not dependent on traditional newspaper advertising, which has dramatically declined in recent years and left many legacy news outlets struggling to survive.Learn more about our organization here: https://newbedfordlight.org/about-us/How to support us: https://newbedfordlight.org/support-our-publication/
