Public Access Journalism, LLC collaborates with a national news service, broadcasters, online communities and nonprofit foundations to bring innovative solutions directly to millions of Americans navigating life’s daily challenges. We translate the latest research on health, education, cultural and environmental issues for each project, reaching our growing and diverse audience through coordinated coverage in traditional and new media.

We provide national, local and college newspapers with ready-to-publish news stories exploring complex social issues, written by respected journalists. The series are distributed free to newspapers across the United States through McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT), a global information service owned by McClatchy and Tribune Co. PAJ stories, photos and graphics have been published and localized in more than 300 newspapers and their websites, for a total circulation of 13 million readers.

A fully interactive project website connects the online community, providing instant access to the newspaper series and links to important resources, experts and organizations. Blogs, podcasts and webcasts from across the country encourage a national conversation and a free flow of ideas.
