Documented Ltd

Documented is a nonprofit newsroom that serves immigrant communities in Brooklyn and across NYC through multilingual journalism (English, Spanish, Chinese and Haitian Creole), community engagement, service reporting, and accountability reporting. By combining rigorous reporting with deep relationships in immigrant communities, Documented has built a unique model for understanding information needs, reaching audiences often underserved by traditional media, and ensuring critical information is both accessible and actionable. 

Today, Documented reaches nearly people through its website, newsletters, social platforms, events, and community partnerships (including community specific channels - in Spanish on WhatsApp, Chinese on WeChat and Haitian Creole on Tiktok). Its reporting focuses on helping immigrant New Yorkers navigate complex systems, understand policy changes, and participate more fully in civic life. You can find links to all our channels and sign up (it's free!) here. 

As trusted local information sources continue to disappear, Documented has emerged as a leading example of community-centered journalism and trusted information infrastructure. The organization sees significant need to expand its work around civic engagement, local elections, voting, and public participation—particularly among immigrant communities that are frequently overlooked by both traditional media and civic institutions. A local news site, Documented has also become an example for media across the country and is trainings dozens of newsrooms across the U.S.
