Open Campus Media

Open Campus is a nonprofit news organization dedicated to investigating and elevating higher education.

We’re working to transform local reporting on college by combining the sophistication of a national newsroom that knows a topic very deeply with the engagement of a community newsroom that knows a place very deeply. This, we believe, can be part of a new collaborative model for how important public-policy journalism can be done in this country.

We believe an independent, nonprofit news organization can use the moral force of investigative journalism to hold these powerful American institutions accountable and to connect them more deeply to the public.

At the same time, we believe in the core mission of higher education. And we believe that holding it up to its own standards can foster the social impact it can and should have.
