Testifying to the Importance of Local Journalism in Manitoba
In July, alongside local news outlets across the province, NACTV had the opportunity to present at a public hearing held by the Province of Manitoba regarding local journalism. Senior LJI journalist Rrain Prior took the reins for the presentation, supported by a body of work from council meetings to public works investigations to protests and calls to action that was only possible thanks to the Local Journalism Initiative and the presence of a local reporter in Neepawa.
Empowering Neepawa Youth Through Local Journalism
What began as an idea to engage youth in creative skill-building and local journalism turned into a transformative eight-week journey for 15 young participants. The initiative was made possible through a collaboration between NACTV, the Neepawa Settlement’s SWIS program, and a generous grant from the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation. Together, these partners launched a pilot youth training program that provided more than just technical skills—it gave participants a voice and a platform to share their perspectives.
