Common Ground.

Two words so commonly used as to be almost trite, yet we all understand the meaning. Most of us seek to find it—recognizing it’s how we get things done and move forward.

In this spirit, we’re launching a platform where Issue Media Group shares stories of good ideas, solutions, and progress from around our network and beyond.

I’m a possibilist, which is why I love the solutions-based journalism we do at IMG. We focus on solutions, success stories, and people with ideas and dreams—not just policy, but inspiration at the ground level where seemingly average people accomplish extraordinary things.

Our mission is vital journalism that moves communities forward. We aspire to create not just awareness but inspiration and, ultimately, impact. Common Ground shows what’s possible by telling stories of those who have shown the way. 

Common Ground unites our network’s combined reach of over 2 million readers annually, increasing both the impact of our journalism and visibility for our valued underwriters.

Sign up for our weekly newsletter to stay connected—and share with people in your networks.

To our underwriting partners: if this resonates with you, please reach out to me, Hayley Roberts, or Natalie DePhillips. We’d love to talk about the possibilities.
