OpenFile reports local news stories suggested by you, the people who live and work in the community. We call it community-powered news: you suggest a story, we assign a reporter. By connecting citizens to the journalists who cover their communities, OpenFile helps get answers to important questions and bring attention the stories and issues that are ignored or underplayed. If you have a story that’s not getting coverage in your community, or a question that needs answering, tell us about it by opening a file.
