OUR WORK

The Rural Journalism Institute of the San Luis Valley trains early-career and aspiring journalists to work and perform their craft in rural communities with populations under 20,000.  The Institute offers exposure to a vibrant, diverse rural market through its location in Alamosa, Colorado, and the greater San Luis Valley.  Training and education is achieved through fellowships and internships sponsored by the institute.

​

RJI/SLV emphasizes story development in these areas:

  • agriculture and farming operations

  • water and environment

  • small town economies

  • local public officials and governments

  • arts, culture & history

  • education

  • health equity

  • infrastructure

​

Training emphasizes the use of digital tools for reporting and storytelling in small markets to create awareness and understanding around the consumption of digital media in small markets.

The RJI/SLV uses its unique and culturally and economically diverse setting to give early-stage journalists first-hand experience reporting on small towns in rural settings, and facilitates and encourages the employment of journalists in small communities.
