good journalism matters

Nebraska needs its stories. We need stories that lift up our victories. Stories that find the truth in our tragedies. Stories that hold the powerful accountable, that defend the vulnerable. We need the kind of journalism that takes time and resources — increasingly scarce in our newsrooms.

The Nebraska Journalism Trust ensures such work will always help sustain The Good Life.

our work

The Nebraska Journalism Trust is Nebraska’s first and only statewide, independent, nonprofit news organization. Its flagship publication, the Flatwater Free Press, produces a combination of investigative journalism and feature stories that hold leaders accountable, explore solutions, and share the best of Nebraska. Stories are freely available online at flatwaterfreepress.org, in a weekly e-mail newsletter, and through partnering news outlets across the state.

The Nebraska Journalism Trust additionally publishes Silicon Prairie News, a digital publication focused on business and start-ups. Stories are freely available online at siliconprairienews.com, in a weekly e-mail newsletter, and through partnering news outlets across the state.

Join us in writing this new chapter of Nebraska’s story. Sign up for our weekly newsletter, which brings stories from the Flatwater Free Press to your inbox every Friday.
