Local Co-Publications
The Appeal takes a multi-local approach to our journalism, covering issues that impact local communities and elevating experts and impacted individuals on the ground because the criminal legal system operates primarily at the local and state levels.
By co-publishing with local outlets to cover stories in their municipalities and working with incarcerated writers to report and reflect on how the criminal legal system affects individual lives, we help build capacity to cover public safety and justice issues while amplifying The Appeal’s work in affected communities. In 2023, our co-publishing network grew to include 16 partnerships across the country.
