Stabilising Rural Journalism.
Mobile studios and community-based reporting using solutions journalism.
Our approach
How Rural works.

Our mobile studio allows young journalists to cover under-reported rural stories using the solutions journalism approach — reporting alongside community reporters rather than over them.
