The American Journalism Project (AJP) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving resources for local journalism.[1] Its main function is to provide grants to 501(c)(3) organizations, specifically to news organizations that are underfunded,[2] focusing on coverage of local issues such as politics and schools.[3]
AJP was founded in 2019 by two journalists, Elizabeth Green of Chalkbeat and John Thornton of The Texas Tribune.[2]
AJP is the recipient of grants to further their cause. Grantors include the Knight Foundation,[4] and the MacArthur Foundation,[5] AJP has partnered with OpenAI to explore how artificial intelligence can be used to strengthen local news coverage.[6]
