CivicStory is a nonprofit news site focused on sustainability, civics, and creative change in New Jersey. Our mission is to advance solutions-based news about citizens building vibrant, inclusive communities.                                      

OUR WORK IS:

Evergreen

Our stories stay relevant and can be repurposed for educational use. 

Civic

We view people not as consumers but as builders of relationships and communities.   

Humanities-Oriented

We think critically about language, words and meaning in our diverse democratic society.

Nonpartisan, No-Blame

We affirm that, as citizens, we are ultimately responsible for our society as a whole. 

NJ-Focused

We showcase New Jersey while engaging in a national conversation.

OUTLOOK

We believe that a thriving democracy requires an involved citizenry, and that daily news has the potential to foster learning, innovation, and problem solving in America and throughout the world. Increasing this capacity is a matter of significance and urgency.  

We value the unique talents and experiences of each human being, and envision a diverse, contributive society in which all citizens participate meaningfully and constructively.
