Giving Tuesday and NewsMatch - Funding Accountability Journalism

Published: Nov. 24, 2018, 11:45 p.m.

b'Nov. 27 is Giving Tuesday, when hundreds of non-profits in 55 countries get a chance to double the value of donations with matching funds. It\'s also the day that NewsMatch holds what it now calls Giving Newsday, with $3 million in matching foundation funds to augment donations to 155 non-profit news organizations (donations made through the end of the year will be matched). The non-profits \\u2013 generally doing in-depth investigative work that for-profits no longer can afford \\u2013 range from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Pro Publica to magazines such as Mother Jones and Washington Monthly, to Public Radio International and tiny operations in Wyoming, Hawaii and North Dakota. I talked with Pro Publica\'s president and a top exec at Giving Tuesday\'s founding organization, 92Y, about giving instead of just buying. \'Tis the season. Give a listen, won\'t you? \\n\\n--- \\n\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/davidlbloom/support'
