A nonpartisan organization working to promote and support independent journalism in the Appalachian region through reporting and research, Appalachia Free Press fosters diverse and independent media ownership to increase access to community information and reinvent local journalism.

We prioritize collaborations between newsrooms, independent media makers and the communities they serve to challenge traditional industry gatekeepers, serve the public interest and strengthen democracy.
