Your Voice Matters at The Cardinal Independent.
As an independent news platform, there's always a way to get involved! You can learn about independent journalism through our MINI resources, volunteer your time and talents alongside our team, or support our coverage with a donation. However you choose to join in, you’ll be part of a positive, supportive community that values authenticity and gives back through coverage and community.

Learn About Independent Journalism
The CI is proud to launch The Muncie Independent News Initiative (MINI)! The resource hub is scheduled to go live mid-October, and the learning program will start at the middle or end of the Fall 2025 semester.
Learn more about all the opportunities (including an interest form for our first learning program!) through MINI at CIMuncie.org/mini.
