Press Forward Community Survey Partners
Vermont Community Foundation—as part of our work as the Press Forward Vermont chapter—is conducting a statewide assessment of the local news and information ecosystem in partnership with Impact Architects, a nationally recognized strategy and research firm. This initiative will gather and incorporate data about the local news landscape, community needs, and how residents engage with local media.
We would love your help sharing a survey about community information needs, habits, and preferences for local news
If you’re able to distribute the survey, please let us know—we are tracking how word is getting out.
How to Share the Survey
- Please share with your staff and via community newsletter, through your email list, or other closed network.
- To avoid automated/AI responses, please do not post the link in public channels (e.g., social media, a public Instagram account).
- You may also use the flyer with QR Code to share in your office and at in-person meetings or events.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Evelyn Gearty at egearty@vermontcf.org or Jess Schmidt at jschmidt@vermontcf.org.
