Our mission is to strengthen democracy and social cohesion by leveraging today’s leading-edge digital tools

We’re here to rebuild public trust in journalism, fact-based information and the values that hold our society together

Why our mission matters

When trust in journalism fades, the future we share begins to fracture, but it doesn’t have to

We live in a fragile time where trust in journalism is fading, and public conversation is pulled apart by algorithms and outrage. When people no longer know what or who to believe, it’s not just quality media that suffers — it’s our democracy.

At the Greenwood Digital Initiative, we believe we can change this.

We believe that digital tools used to divide (and used for branding and persuasion in commercial spaces) can also be used to reconnect. That we can speak to people with empathy, not judgment. That we can guide audiences back to truth, not through confrontation, but through understanding. 

Because what’s at stake isn’t just information. It’s the foundation of an informed and open society. And we’re here to rebuild it, one campaign, one community, and one conversation at a time.

Our vision

We envision a future where digital tools are used to strengthen democracy, not undermine it. A future where public trust is rebuilt through collaboration and purpose-driven communication.

We believe that impact happens when strategists, researchers, communication professionals, and civil society work together, using the most effective methods of our time to support cohesion and informed public dialogue.

Our values

Guided by purpose, driven by impact.

We’re committed to driving meaningful change by addressing critical societal issues through innovative and strategic digital communication.

While our core focus is on rebuilding trust in journalism, the Greenwood Approach is designed to be adaptable and scalable. Enabling positive impact across a range of issues, including:

– Democracy protection
– Climate action
– Sustainability advocacy 
– Human rights and equality
