Community Beacon Network

Community Beacon Network: Women's Voices from Underreported America

CBN elevates and equips women innovators in U.S. news deserts, transforming their unseen problem-solving into workplace narratives, leadership pipelines, and sustainable local news infrastructure.

The Community Beacon Network is a nonprofit that both documents and equips women innovators in U.S. news deserts. It professionally produces mini-documentaries on women-led solutions in overlapping deserts of news, health, and care, while pairing each story with a local newsroom pod that trains women to report community news so that, long after we leave, they remain the news beacons for their neighborhoods, reinforcing a notion of community leadership.
