Civic Documenters
When fewer reporters cover local government, our communities lose visibility into the decisions that shape our schools, budgets, and neighborhoods. The nonpartisan Civic Documenters (CivDoc) program empowers New Hampshire residents to help close that gap and ensure transparency, accountability, and a more informed public.
Documenters attend a six-week training program hosted by the Loeb School and taught by journalist Paul Cuno-Booth. Once trained, they attend municipal, school board, and other public meetings and produce detailed, factual notes and summaries for participating news outlets.
The Spring 2026 cohort includes residents of the greater Concord, Manchester, Monadnock Region, Nashua and Lakes regions and the following newsrooms: Concord Monitor, Keene Sentinel, Laconia Daily Sun, Manchester Ink Link, Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, and Nashua Ink Link.
Inspired by the success of the City Bureau’s Documenters program and the work of Dr. Richard Watts at the University of Vermont, the CivDoc programs helps newsrooms by training a corps of community members to document government meetings and assist local journalists with their reporting.
CivDoc is a partnership of the Loeb School, the Granite State News Collaborative, and the New England First Amendment Coalition.
