NWK Documenters are the eyes and ears of our city. Rooted in civic journalism, NWK Documenters empower community members to take up space and raise a voice at public meetings in the City of Newark. NWK Documenters are trained and paid to be community watchdogs and document meetings across the city. We are a part of the larger Documenters Network, which has trained thousands of community members across 19 cities.

When agencies aren’t doing their job to ensure transparency and access to information, NWK Documenters put pressure on them to do so by fighting for clear information on public websites and working against barriers to information. If you stand for speaking truth to power, join us by becoming a NWK Documenter or learn more by emailing [email protected].
