The Agenda is a sporadical publication focusing on the City of Providence.
By offering conversation about the city, written by and for the people living in it, The Agenda hopes to contribute energy to private and public dialogue.
The Agenda—a dynamic, changing, growing forum—provides a space for anyone to speak loudly and clearly and to write with conviction, responsibility and humanity.
We emphasize locally produced images, art, and photography as an accompaniment to articles—or as artistic pieces of their own.
We encourage submissions on living culture, politics, fiction, music, theater, humor, sex, education, poetry, living and art.
The Agenda challenges the idea that a newspaper should be neutral to the impact of changing trends in society and their effects on the diverse realities of everyday people.
Word of Mouth becomes vital when major media outlets repeat soundbites, withhold understanding, and distance themselves from the public through consolidation.
The Agenda is a public document, open to interpretation and criticism. By talking about the paper, you own it.
Newspapers shouldn't always provide the answers—sometimes they just need to ask the questions. The Agenda is an evolving experiment—it is a newspaper you can grow with.
