Our Story
The Municipal Journal was spun from a combination of curiosity and urgency: a curiosity to delve into the inner workings of often neglected functions of politics and an urgency to address a teeming political atmosphere. Our team came together to finally create something to address these two untapped outlets and created this publication that serves as a space of exploration and information.
Our Mission
As a Journalist Entity we strive to:
-
Describe the inner workings of local functions, including but not limited to municipal governments and local initiatives.
-
Consolidate information into digestible articles and bolster community awareness.
