Miami Fourth Estate

Local news is shrinking in America. But with your help, we are working to make hyper-local news thrive.

We go to the local government meetings. We file public records requests. We ask the tough questions so that readers can see what is happening in their neighborhoods, where information matters the most.

Taxes and spending. Schools and Education. Policing and the environment. 

Our vision aims at building sustainable hyperlocal news that serves the community.               

Donor dollars will go directly into supporting quality local journalism.

Our Current Programs include:

KEY BISCAYNE INDEPENDENT An award winning online nonprofit newspaper serving Key Biscayne  and vicinity, with a focus on accountability, the environement. 

*NEW* - Community reporting on local arts, culture and local youth sports 

ANTI-SOCIAL RADIO & PODCAST
The Anti-Social program is a public-affairs show that takes trending topics on social media and applies an antidote of facts (and a bit of occasional humor). We focus on local issues but we sometimes take on national topics.
