Can you tell me more about Rural News Network?
The Rural News Network, a project of the Institute for Nonprofit News, is the largest collection of rural-focused newsrooms and reporters in America.
RNN newsrooms produce nearly 5,000 stories a month – most of which would otherwise go untold. Our mission is to broaden the reach of rural-relevant reporting. One way we’re doing that is by making our members’ stories more accessible via text messaging.
