About
Who we are and what we’re working on
It’s too hard for local journalists to access public records about policing, public health, government, and other vital topics.
From its base at Stanford University, Big Local News tries to solve the problem by gathering data, building tools and collaborating with reporters.
The biglocalnews.org site also offers a free archiving service for journalists to store, share, and publish data. Selected projects are preserved by the Stanford Digital Repository. An Industrial Affiliates program provides expanded opportunities to engage with the program and support its mission.
