The Philadelphia Citizen
The Philadelphia Citizen is a non-profit and non-partisan media outlet with a twofold mission: to deliver in-depth journalism that highlights actionable solutions to advance our community, and to inspire active citizenship in the Philadelphia area. We aim to showcase innovators, challenge those hindering progress, and highlight the emerging leaders of Philadelphia, all while equipping residents with the interactive tools necessary for greater civic engagement. Philadelphia requires more than just another news source; it demands journalism that prioritizes solutions we can collectively implement. It calls for a movement of citizens who are determined to reclaim leadership from a political class often marked by a troubling transactional mentality.
