A digital media company

EAPM is an all-digital multimedia media entity. We’ll create and launch news outlets and media products, starting with a daily national news site, and our employees will work remotely. Get to know why EAPM includes this and what it means to make news accessible. Looking for a quick guide to our organization? Check out EAPM at-a-glance.

A forward-thinking nonprofit

EAPM started with the premise that both jobs and news should be accessible so that all people could have access to news. We believe that by creating news outlets and other products that reach more people, we strengthen communities and democracy.

A new type of public media

EAPM is committed to the idea that media, communication, and news are for the benefit of educating the public. The media products and news outlets we build educate people on issues and ideas — and help build a stronger democracy.

A problem-solving organization

EAPM’s mission is creating accessible news outlets and media products through which we create accessible jobs in the journalism industry. We’re building innovative products like the Style and Accessibility Guide. And we’re currently fundraising to build a new type of news outlet called the National Tab.

A community-centered partner

We’re beholden to our donors and our community — not advertisers or a single owner. You are the Public in Equal Access Public Media. Learn how to support us.

Equal Access Public Media is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national media company. Our focus is creating accessible news outlets and media products through which we create accessible jobs in the news industry.
