Signal Ohio

We’re on a mission to provide local news for Ohio that is reflective of all our local communities, and anchored in their needs. Our journalism equips residents to be more civically engaged in the places where they live.

Signal Ohio’s network of independent newsrooms delivers in-depth, community-centered journalism. Our coverage spans the arts, education, health, government accountability and economic issues, ensuring residents have the information they need to engage civically.

Launched in 2022 with Signal Cleveland, Signal Ohio expanded its network of newsrooms into Akron in 2023. Signal Statewide, the third newsroom in the Signal Ohio network, covers policy and politics for all Ohioans. The first phase of the Signal Cincinnati newsroom launched in 2024 with the launch of Cincinnati Documenters and with the newsroom to follow in late 2025.
