Watch NJCIC’s 2026 Virtual Public Meetings

Watch the recordings to meet our team, learn about our work, and join the conversation about local news in New Jersey!

The New Jersey Civic Information Consortium (NJCIC) invited New Jersey residents, journalists, community organizations, and anyone interested in strengthening local news and civic information to attend one of our three annual public meetings, which took place virtually November 4–6, 2026. Recordings of all three meetings are now available below.

As part of our commitment to transparency and public engagement, NJCIC hosts three public meetings each year to connect with communities across the state, share updates about our work, and answer questions from the public.

These meetings were an opportunity to meet NJCIC staff, learn more about our grantmaking and initiatives, ask questions, and share your thoughts on the local news and information needs of your community.
