Could ‘climate diplomacy’ be the googly – a gamechanger for regional cooperation?

With the ‘fifth season’ – smog in northern India and Pakistan – catalysing a major health crisis that is reducing life expectancy in cities like Delhi and Lahore, cross-border conversations on air pollution and cooperation for possible solutions might not be avoidable for too long. By Mandira Nayar / Sapan News Cricket diplomacy has been bowled out. India will not travel to Pakistan for the…

Local NewsMatch funders outpaced national donors for the first time in 2022

For many nonprofit newsrooms, NewsMatch is the most important fundraising campaign on the calendar. The results from the latest campaign — which ran from November 1, 2022 through the end of the year — are in, and they skew local. NewsMatch is the annual end-of-year fundraising campaign that uses gift-matching to encourage donations to nonprofit newsrooms. In 2022, the Institute for Nonprofit News…

Why Local News is Benefits You?

Local news is a great way to keep yourself informed about what's happening in your community. It can also help you understand local government and political issues. As we know, local politics affects the lives of everyone in the community.

Fortunately, a range of initiatives are underway to support local news. Many projects are focusing on diversity-led media organizations and underserved communities. Other potential solutions include encouraging partnerships between news organizations and funding journalistic coverage of underrepresented groups.

One example is the Knight-Lenfest Local News Transformation Fund. The fund has a $300 million budget over five years to invest in local news. Some of the other projects include the Compass Experiment, which combines Google and McClatchy to launch a new local news outlet in Youngstown, Ohio.

Find the local news from this MSNBC live streaming.

A related initiative, NewsMatch, doubles the support of participating nonprofit newsrooms. It's a payroll tax credit worth about 30% of the salary of a local journalist in the first year.

Other examples include the local reporting networks developed by FRONTLINE and ProPublica, which fund reporters in newsrooms.

In addition to the usual suspects, a series of billionaires have stepped up to save longstanding legacy publications like Time and the Washington Post. These include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Salesforce founder Marc Benioff, John Henry, and others.

While there are many forces that are still beyond the control of individual newspapers and their editors, the best practices for managing a local newspaper are a good place to start. Standard practices include financial restructuring, aggressive cost-cutting, and bankruptcy.

Forget Black Friday. Giving Tuesday is almost here, and with it, the chance to support a lot of worthy causes while bringing in matching dollars from foundations and corporations. One particularly worthwhile cause: NewsMatch, benefitting 155 non-profit news organizations around the country. 

In this Forbes piece, I talk with executives at 92Y, which started Giving Tuesday, and Pro Publica, the Pulitzer Prize-winning non-profit news group among those benefiting from Giving Tuesday, with a share of $3 million in matching funds from a number of foundations. It’s a great cause, among many great causes, that benefit from Giving Tuesday. Check it out.
