Resolve Philly

About Resolve Philly

Resolve Philly is an unconventional newsroom, one that we believe is a model for the future of local news across the country and even around the world. Our work revolves around three core pillars: 1) reporting based in participatory and community responsive journalism; 2) a steadfast commitment to bridging the information divide by meeting people where they are at with news and information; 3) rooting all of our work in deep collaboration. The organization was founded in 2018 by Jean Friedman-Rudovsky and Cassie Haynes, having grown out of a 2017 collaborative reporting project around reentry from prison, a critical challenge facing Philadelphia. We are now a staff of 24, with a full programmatic plate, as well as a B2B business named Modifier which provides professional development and consulting services for newsrooms and non-profits worldwide.
