Good journalism matters.

ABOUT NJT
Our Mission

Our Vision
A thriving local news ecosystem that serves all of Nebraska well
OUR WORK
FLATWATER FREE PRESS
Flatwater Free Press, our flagship publication, produces investigative journalism and compelling feature stories that hold leaders accountable, explore solutions, and lift up the best of Nebraska. FFP stories are freely available online, through weekly email newsletters, and through partnering news outlets across the state.
SILICON PRAIRIE NEWS
Silicon Prairie News covers Nebraska’s startup ecosystem, reporting on entrepreneurs, investors and innovators shaping the local economy. SPN provides in-depth stories, community-driven insights and an events calendar to connect the community. SPN also hosts events like Silicon Prairie Startup Week and 10 Hour Challenge to foster collaboration and growth.
NEBRASKA DOCUMENTERS
Nebraska Documenters trains and pays citizen journalists to attend under-reported meetings of local government boards and publish notes about what happened. The program not only provides needed oversight of local government, it helps prepare Documenters themselves for civic engagement, whether as journalists, community organizers, or even as candidates for office themselves.
