What a beautiful tribute to Dick Ravitch who died over the weekend. He did more for NYC as a civic leader and business leader than any elected official. He also firmly believed in the power of local journalism, inspiring him to be a founder of THE CITY. thecity.nyc/2023/6/26/2377…

Thrilled to share results Online News Association from a new survey on expanding role of philanthropy in journalism that I've been working on since earlier this year w/ a wonderful team NORC at The University of Chicago, in partnership with Media Impact Funders and @LenfestInstitute. 1/5 mediaimpactfunders.org/philanthropys-…

In the NORC survey, 59 percent of funders said they've increased philanthropic giving for journalism in the last five years, and a third said they're new to funding journalism. More than half said they anticipate increasing funding in the coming five years. 2/5

As philanthropy expands, the NORC survey also found the need for more newsrooms to disclose donors and adopt clear conflict-of-interest policies to protect editorial independence and public trust. 3/5

A spotlight on diversity: 60% of funders say in @NORCNEWS survey they support news outlets serving communities of color, and 70% of those say their funding has increased. Yet only half of news organizations that serve people of color report a funding rise. 4/5.

Where's $$ going? In NORC survey, funders say: - 74% for topic-specific journalism. - 71% to amplify local #journalism. - 50% to support community engagement, investigative stories, and news org sustainability. 5/5. Details here. mediaimpactfunders.org/reports/journa…

It was so much fun to share the first phase of my new research with NORC Media Impact Funders and The Lenfest Institute for Journalism on the expanding role of philanthropy and journalism w/so many dear friends at Online News Association #ONA23
