Are you a local publisher wondering how to turn your content into revenue, adapt to shifting audience behaviors, or keep pace with rapidly changing tech? Then the International Press Institute’s (IPI) Local News Accelerator could be just what you need.
Now in its third edition, this four-month program is designed to help local media outlets around the globe strengthen their editorial and financial foundations. Through personalized advisory services, strategic tools, and hands-on training, the accelerator empowers newsrooms to better serve their communities and survive in today’s tough media landscape.
IPI believes media innovation is essential to press freedom. That’s why it has spent four years developing support systems tailored to local publishers.

The accelerator begins with a full month of needs assessments, followed by intensive training and customized one-on-one coaching.
