Atlanta Civic Circle and Canopy Atlanta received a national award for the Cost of Living Project
The Cost of Living Project was named Collaboration of the Year at last week’s Local Independent Online News Sustainability Awards ceremony in Chicago.
Here’s what the judges had to say about the project:
“Canopy Atlanta has built a powerful, locally rooted, content-rich, and operationally diversified news collaboration that appears to be only just beginning its journey of impact on Atlanta’s communities. Their dedicated website and its layers of transparency and interactivity to ensure and regenerate feedback and audience-driven coverage is commendable. The depth, breadth, and effectiveness of their partnerships across differences are evident in the range of reporters, community engagement and storytelling, language considerations, and how their collaboration ties it all back to the local streets and neighborhoods that are the lifeblood of their audiences.”
We’re so proud of our team and thrilled to see community journalism recognized on a national stage. •
