Conducted on behalf of the Ford Foundation, this Dot Connector Studio report is a first step towards outlining what those of us who fund journalism and helm newsrooms can do to create a more inclusive and sustainable media industry.
The analysis ties together two years of internal research and recent interviews with individuals, from entrepreneurs to leaders of large nonprofit newsrooms, to understand how these innovators are driving change and navigating the impacts of the pandemic. It investigates overlapping topics of equity in news, changing journalism business models in a period of rapid disruption, and responsive philanthropic strategies to address the many intersecting problems that currently exist in the industry.
