How We Show Up
This is how 15 West goes beyond the story.
15 West organizing is how local news becomes local action.
We listen to what our communities need, build relationships, and show up. We cover stories. We show up for our neighbors. We do both.
What we're up to next (and how to get involved)

A note on our journalism
15 West believes local journalism starts with listening and showing up.
Our community organizing helps us build relationships, understand neighborhood concerns, and identify issues that deserve deeper reporting.
While these experiences may inform our journalism, our editorial decisions remain independent. We verify information, seek multiple perspectives, and report fairly, including on the institutions and systems involved in the communities we serve.
Participating in our events or requesting volunteer help does not guarantee news coverage.
