Welcome,
These are fraught times. Division, intolerance and hostility seemingly challenge America's existence. We must solve for our societal dysfunction and the instinct to take sides against one another.
Mainstream media's both-sides approach fails in today's fragmented landscape. Meanwhile, social media algorithms amplify polarizing voices. So, is there common ground where we can discover what unites rather than punctuate what divides us?
Vital journalism moving communities forward. That's Issue Media Group's core focus across 17 sites in four states. Now we're launching
Common Ground, a national platform where community stories will intersect and possibilities emerge.
We'll curate solutions journalism via website, newsletter and social media, cross-pollinating ideas and solutions across rural, urban and suburban communities. When neighborhoods innovate, their success stories will connect with others facing similar challenges.
While polarization dominates national politics, people unite around local issues.
Common Ground will amplify our impact from local to national to nearly 2 million monthly readers.
If this resonates, please reach out. Finding common ground is my passion, and I love to talk about it.
