Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To promote public education, we will partner with existing media outlets across platforms to share the ideas and voices of those advocating for a more equitable democracy throughout North Carolina. Beacon Media aims to make these ideas and supporting information more available and accessible in communities where the media predominantly represents other viewpoints or limits information that citizens should be able to access. We will also syndicate other forms of stories and content related to our mission to inform rural and exurban area communities through local media outlets. In addition, Beacon Media will conduct an educational program for grassroots and other community leaders whose important voices are underrepresented in mainstream media and other public fora. Beacon Media will provide such persons training and workshops to help them develop better written and oral communication skills so that they become better public advocates for their ideas and communities.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Beacon Media began its formal efforts to incorporate and establish its programmatic activity in the final months of 2023. The process of starting up the organization has involved: -Recruiting a diverse and dedicated Board of Directors committed to advancing our mission; -Beginning research on North Carolina's media landscape; -Building out content structure and editorial guidelines; -Developing partnerships with contributing organizations and individuals. Beacon Media's research and partnership development efforts will allow us to reach our goals to syndicate nonpartisan content across media platforms in both English and Spanish. Our audience will be people who make up the backbone of some of our most marginalized communities, those who live outside of major media markets and particularly in hard-to-reach rural areas. Beacon's values-based content and commentary will reach every corner of the state and the working class who have the most at stake in the current struggle for democracy.$50,000$3,320
