ABOUT STREETLIGHT
News that empowers
Streetlight is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news site based in Oklahoma City. We report in-depth and investigative stories about housing, criminal justice and inequality.
Our reporting explores solutions and covers complex topics with the nuance they deserve. Our mission is to report stories that envision a more equitable world and energize our readers to improve their communities.
News that grounds people working for change
Streetlight writes news stories about inequality, the nation’s most pressing issue. We help renters understand their rights, and we expose how the criminal justice system favors those with privilege and harms those without it.
Our readers are people looking for practical information to navigate their daily lives; advocates whose work is dedicated to helping others; policymakers eager to find the best solutions to problems in their communities; and people like you who care deeply about inequality and want to learn how they can help others who are struggling.
We have a national focus with a local heart. We cover how national issues, like the affordable housing shortage, affect communities.
Streetlight is a member of LION Publishers and the Oklahoma Media Center.
