Featured Grantee

In February 2010, the Center for Independent Media changed its name to the American Independent News Network (AINN) to better reflect our mission of impacting public debate and advancing the common good through an online news network.  AINN is a 501(c)(3) next generation political news organization founded in 2006. AINN currently operates five state-based sites in CO, IA, MI, MN, and NM and a national bureau in DC. AINN is currently in the process of launching our sixth state site-- The Florida Independent --by June 2010. By training and managing a skilled corps of online journalists reporting on the key issues of the day, AINN is working to restore the critical role of a free press in a democracy: our investigative reports, widely read and disseminated, lead to more honest, fair, transparent and accountable government; more efficient, reliable and competitive elections; and new and expanded opportunities for citizens to participate in civic and political affairs.
