The Inky Local Journalism Fund was established to help maintain a vibrant, informed, and connected Nantucket by ensuring the long-term strength and independence of local journalism. The Fund supports reporting on the issues that matter most to our island community — including health, education, the environment, development, and arts and culture. A core priority is investing in the next generation of storytellers through summer internships for high school and college students, providing meaningful mentorship and hands-on newsroom experience while cultivating future leaders in journalism.
