Company Profile

Company Description:

Next City’s online journalism centers marginalized voices while amplifying solutions to the problems that oppress people in cities. At a time when cities face rampant inequality and urgent challenges, Next City’s work as a nonprofit news outlet is critical: by spreading real stories and workable ideas from one city to the next, we connect the people, places and solutions that move our society toward justice and equity. Our core audience consists of individuals working in city planning, finance, philanthropy, architecture, media, academia, transportation, the arts — or within any sector that must collaborate to make cities run more equitably. They are the thinkers and doers who often wear many hats in their communities.

Next City publishes hundreds of stories on solutions to urban issues each year. We also compile our best reporting into ebooks, host webinars with practitioners who share lessons from their work, and convene live events such as our annual Vanguard Conference for rising urban leaders. This immersive event will be held in El Paso in 2022. Learn more at nextcity.org/about.

Our employees do rewarding work while being part of a team that is committed to making cities more just and equitable. Our diverse staff and board are in service to an engaged reader base, including 40,000 who subscribe to Next City’s emails, 2 million that visit nextcity.org each year, and over 170,000 who follow us across social media.
