The Philadelphia Citizen, an independent news organization, has a dual mission: To provide deeply reported journalism that emphasizes solutions that can move our region forward, and to actively reignite citizenship in and around Philadelphia. We seek to identify our innovators, call out those who stand in the way of progress and shine a light on the next generation of Philly leadership—all while giving Philadelphians the interactive tools they need to become more involved, engaged citizens. Philadelphia doesn't just need another news organization. It needs journalism that focuses on solutions that, together, we can help bring to fruition. It needs a movement of citizens who refuse to outsource leadership to a political class long characterized by an insidious transactional culture. Media that only chronicles what's wrong without considering how to fix things is only doing half a job. The Citizen provides context, not just facts, whether in a written article, a short documentary, or through data—the vast sea of available stats on everything from voting records to city contracts. We seek fixes to what ails the city, shine a light on our city's change agents and demand a new way of thinking from the business-as-usual crowd.
