Oviedo Community News is proud to announce that it has been selected as a 2025 Report for America host newsroom partner. OCN will join an expanding network of more than 400 newsrooms benefiting from the support of this nonprofit program. Through this partnership, OCN will expand its coverage of east Seminole County local government.
Report for America is a national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues and communities. Their proven partnership model is structured to harness the skills and idealism of an emerging group of journalists plus the creative spirit of local news organizations—like ours. The program holds two “rigorous competitions,” one for host newsrooms and one for journalists and “pick the best of the best.”
Report for America is a two-year program (with an option for three) that delivers a wide range of benefits to its corps members. Beyond paying up to half of the journalists’ salaries, it provides ongoing training and mentorship by leading journalists, peer networking, and memberships to select professional organizations. We will be eager to welcome our new Report for America corps member in the summer of 2025.
