A newly formed, nonprofit news collaborative launching on Florida’s dynamic west coast is hiring three journalists to be part of a small team of experienced reporters who will create news content for use by print, digital, TV and radio media organizations in Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties. The Community News Collaborative is dedicated to creating journalism with reach that connects communities; improves quality of life through information, understanding and empowerment; and fosters a more informed, passionate and civic-minded population.
