About

The Rapidian is a citizen journalism project intended to increase the flow of local news and information in the Grand Rapids community and its neighborhoods.

By providing tools, training, platforms and support, we hope to empower neighborhood residents to report the news from the inside out. We are an outlet for Grand Rapidians to become more than just content consumers but also providers by becoming citizen journalists.

We are currently in our beta phase and appreciate any feedback from our participants to make the most user friendly site possible.

The Rapidian is a project of the Grand Rapids Community Media Center with funding and support from the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, Slemons Foundation and John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
