Our role

Community media initiative

Berkshire Stories sits within Reaction Foundry’s portfolio as a cooperative media initiative. Its focus connects local storytelling with participation in the region’s shared life.

Why we’re invested

Who gets to tell the story shapes what people see.

The idea fits the Foundry’s interest in participation: give the people in a community a meaningful place in how that community is represented. It connects storytelling with the relationships that can lead to collaboration.
