Nieman Lab Writes Series on Nonprofit Local News, InDepthNH Founder Quoted

By Nancy West | February 9, 2024

Nancy West, founder of InDepthNH.org We need real ethical news more than ever.

By NANCY WEST, InDepthNH.org

InDepthNH.org was a founding member of the Association of Nonprofit News Outlets with 32 members across the country to encourage more direct funding from large philanthropic individuals and organizations to small nonprofit news outlets.

I’m thrilled to say Nieman Journalism Lab out of Harvard just published a two-part series focused on ANNO’s concerns and suggestions. It is important that we keep you posted on what is really going on with the funding of local news because right now our readers and a few generous local philanthropists are keeping us going, but we need a major influx of cash to build our business component.

Please read the excellent Nieman Journalism Lab articles by Sophie Culpepper here:

Many small news nonprofits feel overlooked by funders. A new coalition is giving them a voice

Patterns in philanthropy leave small newsrooms behind. Can that change?

InDepthNH.org is also hosting YouTube videos about the funding situation for nonprofit news outlets, the first with Dr. Alice Dreger and second with Jason Pramas who spearheaded forming ANNO.
