Overview

Community journalism is a serious effort to return to the reputation journalism once had, and to restore the role of the press to its original purpose—that is, to serve as a crucible for ideas and opinions. Village Voice was born during the COVID pandemic in 2020. It was a time of great change and uncertainty. It was a time when our sense of community truly made a difference. As a voice for our community, we embrace our civic role by enabling amateur and professional journalists to reach an audience. Just like the finest community newspapers, Village Voice recognizes and accepts this covenant: that we are a key stakeholder in the forces that help build and celebrate our community. Like the best local newspapers, Village Voice affirms the role of citizens through our aspiring journalists and our readers. Village Voice was founded by Greg Twemlow. Greg is also the founder of SEVENmile Venture Lab.
