The Marin Post is the premier publishing platform in Marin County for anyone who has a passion to write about issues of community concern.
The Marin Post is a project of Community Venture Partners, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and is dependent upon grants, donations and other forms of public support. Our mission is to empower citizen journalists by providing an online platform for discussion of issues of shared community concern.
WHY THE MARIN POST?
“I know of no safer depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Even in our digital age journalism remains one of the most powerful forces for social and political change. Citizen journalism and communications have been a major catalyst for many of the positive public policy changes we've witnessed to date. CVP believes it’s essential to continue to empower community voices to help bring about constructive change.
The Marin Post is an open blogging, news, media and notice posting platform with an emphasis on the works of local writers.
The Marin Post will began with a group of invited contributing writers but anyone can create a post about any subject. Readers can comment on and discuss any piece published. The Marin Post also links to news articles, videos and notices of events on other web sites.
The Marin Post allows local writers to post articles, research and commentary about issues of general public interest. Topics include affordable housing, arts & culture, health & wellness, the local economy and government, emergency preparedness, environmental and wildlife, historic preservation, parks and open space, growth and planning, public services, schools and education, social justice, technology and innovation, transportation and traffic, and more.
The Marin Post publishing platform is politically agnostic. In fact we believe it is only by encouraging differing points of view that we can engage a broad audience in a truly democratic dialog.
WHY NOW?
An open community news source that supports citizen journalists, on any side of any issue, is needed in Marin County and around the SF Bay Area.
The Marin Post is a venue to publish thoughtful articles and serve as a public forum for meaningful discussions about issues of general public concern.
