Pocket, Mozilla’s social bookmarking service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks, has announced a partnership with the American Journalism Project (AJP) to elevate local news.

Pocket will showcase AJP grantees through a series of curated collections featuring articles focused on three themes: systemic injustice, LGBTQ+ rights, and community heroes. The collection titles include: Bringing systemic injustices to light, one long read (or listen) at a time; Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is on the rise. Here’s how activists are fighting back; and From death doulas to opera directors: the changing face of community heroes. The initiative aims to contribute to the revival of local journalism and help foster a more connected society.

“This initiative will showcase the work of nonprofit newsrooms on Pocket, enabling our readers to stay informed and engaged with the best local stories from coast to coast,” said Pocket senior director of content discovery Carolyn O’Hara. “By amplifying local news of national significance, we aim to introduce users to stories they might not have discovered on their own and empower them to stay informed on critical issues.”
