Overview
The Associated Press (AP) is a nonpartisan, independent, and fact-based news outlet that is seen and heard by millions around the world in multiple media formats and languages. Access to accurate, reliable, and trusted information is one of the foundational pillars of trustworthy elections. As part of a wide-ranging democracy initiative, AP will expand its coverage of critical issues underpinning democracy and civic engagement to more corners of the U.S., with an emphasis on helping local news organizations serve their own communities’ information needs. For this project, AP also will provide training and journalistic support to news outlets. The resulting journalism will be seen by millions of Americans in digital, broadcast, and social media. As with all Hewlett media grants, the foundation takes a hands-off approach and exercises no editorial control.
