‘Know Your News’ Matters: How Press Freedom & Local Journalism Build Stronger New Hampshire Communities

On Constitution Day (September 17, 2025), Know Your News: Understanding Press Freedom and the Value of Local News launched across region.

This project is the first initiative of the New England Newspaper & Press Association’s Freedom and Local News Committee and the New Hampshire-based Granite State News Collaborative, which provide year-round content that shows why press freedom matters and how local journalism serves communities.

The Collaborative provides member newsrooms access to these high-quality materials with the goal of shining a spotlight on why press freedom, open government, and local journalism matter in everyday life. Through stories, events, and resources, readers are invited to learn more — and share local news to help keep our communities informed.

The Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications is a proud partner with these organization and supporter of First Amendment freedoms and the role a free press.
