The Independent Community News Network (ICNN) is the UK representative body for the independent community and hyperlocal news sector. We exist to promote the interests of community and hyperlocal publishers and to champion new sustainable forms of local digital and print journalism. Our focus is at the local and hyperlocal level; the place where journalism is most valued, but also most at risk.
