"I stepped out on journalistic faith to give the Flint community the news and coverage they deserve." - Jiquanda Johnson, Publisher, FlintBeat.com
We have a community journalism approach where we cover all things Flint. The website, FlintBeat.com , features news from city hall, neighborhoods, local news and will serve as a resource for Flint water crisis information.
We are raising money to cover operating costs including establishing a freelance budget for writers and photographers, developing a phone application for news on the go, establishing internships and co-op programs for local college and high school students who have a passion or interest in journalism.
We figure, if we take care of the community, the community will take care of us.
