Help Lead the Future of Local Media
Our Work
GNAT protects something irreplaceable in the Northshire and Mountain Towns: a community where people stay informed, feel connected, and see their stories reflected back to them. We make local life visible, preserve our civic memory, and give young people the tools to create a future they’re proud to shape.

Why We Need Leaders
Leadership at a Critical Moment
Local media is under pressure everywhere, and communities like ours can’t afford to lose it. Board members help ensure this work stays strong. Your leadership guides our vision, protects access to trustworthy information, and strengthens creative and civic opportunities across the region.
Why It Matters
Local Stories. Real Impact.
Strong local media builds strong communities. It empowers youth, increases civic engagement, preserves local stories, and keeps neighbors connected. Joining the board means helping ensure the Northshire and Mountain Towns remain informed, creative, and resilient.
