The Institute for Nonprofit News (INN) is a national organization whose mission is to ensure that people in every community have access to trustworthy news and reliable information about issues that affect them.
Today, it supports more than 475 independent newsrooms across the country to leverage their collective power – helping them raise funds, grow their audiences, and learn from each other.
Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service is honored to be one of several local news organizations featured in INN’s 15th anniversary video released this month.
The video explains why independent newsrooms such as ours are so vital, and the role they play in the communities they serve.
Watch to hear our Executive Director Ron Smith talk about the importance of meeting people where they are – in the community and online – and to hear reporter PrincessSafiya Byers talk about how she approaches her work as a journalist.
One of the key ways that INN supports community-focused newsrooms like ours is through its annual NewsMatch campaign, which awards matching funds to member news organizations that set and reach certain goals in their end-of-year fundraising campaigns.
This year, Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service has a goal of getting 100 new donors between now and Tuesday, Dec 31. If you aren’t already a donor, your support could make all the difference to our newsroom.
