[Journalists] Introduction and Non-Profit Independent News Organization Training Opportunity

[Patricia Chadwick (PChadwick@INTERNEWS.ORG)]

There also seems to be an increased interest in funding local media so, if your news outlet is local, then I'd recommend checking out this resource which has a fund for local media:

Also, the organization I work for - Internews - has a project called The Listening Post Collective that has resources for local journalism:

Best, Patricia

Todd, welcome to our group,and we're glad to have you on board.
I am Liz Campbell, one of the group moderators. Congratulations on working for the news site in upstate New York. It's amazing how the pandemic has changed how we cover things as most government meetings are virtual which wasn't thought of much until lockdowns started a year ago.
Also, let us know how things go with your application to start a for profit news site. I think you will find that a growing number of media outlets are taking a hybrid approach.
