Communities

Everyone is a part of a community, most of us are part of many different communities. After all, a community is simply a group of people who share common interests, issues, identities, spaces...

Stories in the communities beat aim to help us all understand each other better by highlighting the issues and interests that unite us, sometimes divide us, or guide us. They tell the stories of the people who make a community what it is and the places we live so dynamic.
