Our Projects

At Your Voice Ohio, we believe in representative and solutions-oriented news coverage on the issues that matter most to Ohioans. We design and implement community dialogues and digital opportunities for newsrooms and communities to engage with one another, discuss local challenges, identify potential solutions, and affect change.

Pre-Election Community Visioning

We are working with local media to explore how Ohioans envision a better place to live, and how to get there. These meetings help amplify community ideas and shape local issue coverage of the 2019 local and 2020 national elections.

 

Building Vibrant Communities

As Ohio’s economy shifts, our collaborative is asking people about the kind of stories and support they need to help make their communities thrive.

 

Vibrant Communitinities Citizens Jury

Confronting Ohio’s Addiction Crisis

Ohio has been hit hard by the opioid crisis, but traditional coverage of the epidemic, such as weekly overdose totals, leads to disengagement, apathy, or outright hostility towards reporting. We sat down with communities across the state to hear their stories and identify the information they needed to confront the crisis.
